My boss says βyouβllβ
This needs a line going up the Appalachians for the "You-uns" belt.
And somewhere there's "yinz".
I was just about to point out that the map is missing a small "yinz" enclave around Pittsburgh/Johnstown

I'm from New Jersey and have never heard anyone unironically say "youse guys". Side note we also don't call it "Joisey".

If you live on the line, or move north/west, it's now "you all".
I bought a shirt once in Pittsburgh that says, βYinz is a gender-neutral p pronounβ
I'll throw in "folks" as another gender neutral option. I say "you folks" all the time, especially in professional contexts. I'm not from the South, but I have family there so y'all is a part of my vocabulary. I use it in more informal situations pretty commonly.
Where does this put Scott the Woz?
Can "y'all" be singular, since there is "all y'all" for plural?
When talking about a group but only one individual of the group is present you can still use y'all.

Y'all = you all, which is gender neutral.
Also that map is missing the Chicagoland y'all exclave.
