My maternal family from Appalachia uses the term you'uns(literally "you ones") where in Minnesota we said "you guys", as in referring to two or more people. I love all these nuances of the languages, it's so much fun. Understand people goes way beyond the words, nor are there any words to describe it. Academia and all forms of correct-iits of language and culture are utter nonsense as they claim to have "standards", but they change them with every whim of opinion. Ironically, native languages/cultures do actually have standards, they speak/live a certain way and that's that. It's not up for debate or change, if you don't like it you won't stick around long !
