Nobody mentioned "yuns" Ohio-midwest, contraction of you-un's as in "yuns gonna meet us there, or what?"
I always considered "yuns" to be a West Virginia import and pretty rarely spoken in Ohio.

Yuns, or rather its variant, yins, is pretty common around Pittsburgh, the town that eastern Pennsylanians think is the largest city in West Virginia. Yuns/yins is a vestigal usage that in many areas, like the Missouri Ozarks, has been replaced by ya'll.
