Yeah, the word "you" is a good example as well.

The only issue with "you" is that it lacks a plural version so we have to use the Southern "y'all" instead. Some people go even further with a mass plural "all y'all".

the all y'all sounds fun

"All of you." More unwieldy, but doesn't sound rustic.

Yinz is my preferred term, if we're going for regional words.
