In that case, "yalls'es" would be plural possessive. I think. :^)

Plural possessive? We don't know nothin bout that.

Pronunciations depend on which Southern State you are from.

This is so true. Arguments actually break out as to the correct pronunciation. I've lived in all the deep Southern states and I can pick up on the differences so as to identify the state one is from.

Depends on which part of which southern state. In Florida we can just ignore everything south of Lakeland because that's all up north somewhere.
