FYI, no southerner would say this. "Y'all" is plural pronoun. A southerner would, when speaking to one person, say "you."

A Pittsburgh southsider would say, "youns" which is the plu-perfect contraction of "you ones" maybe used singular or plural, past, present or future tense, such as, "What did youns do with the gum bands?" or "When are youns gonna rid up this room?"

"Y'all" is singular.

The plural is "all y'all."
