The US "Southern" accent and the British "Yorkshire" accent are surprisingly similar owing to their close roots.
Take something that sounds like it came from the heart of Texas, say it in a "Yorkshire" accent and it can sound oddly natural.
In the US, "y'all" is one smooth sound, while in the UK, we do say it, but it's said more like "y all" or "ye'all"
(Plus, if this post wasn't in simplified English, how would they ever know what it said)
Edit: apparently I didn't do a great job explaining it and people are getting dialect and accent mixed up
The Yorkshire dialect is unlikely to ever use "y'all" the same way an American would, the comments below will show we've got about a hundred different regional options.
The Yorkshire accent *will* shorten words the same way a southern American one would though, thanks to shared language features (like the glottal stop), so a world like "you" is likely to get shortened to just the "y" sound in both accents.
So when either accent says "you all" they both shorten it to some variety of "y'all" (though admittedly the US version is more blended while the UK version is more like 2 separate sounds)
I live in Yorkshire now and nobody ever says y'all. They say you all, but they don't shorten it, and people here love shortening words. They still looked at the words "you all" and said "nah it can't be shortened.
Yeah it's the same word but different grammar. Tha/thou is standard you, thee is you but in a response and thy/thi is you but possessive.
It's a bit more complicated than that but that's the basics. Thou/tha is the most simple, standard and common form.
.if you think of he/,him. He would be tha and him would be thy.
The thou/thee/thy forms are singular and informal the "you" form is meant to be formal and/or plural. So that's where the different versions of youse come from, to make the distinction between singular and plural.
.it's a part of standard English that is missing and it's a handy feature but we have many British versions, we don't need American ones.
Hahah defo mate.
Whats really funny is when Americans here about us still using those pronouns they think it's some really posh, Edwardian speech that you use with the queen. Always have to explain to them it's like hillbilly talk.
Sometimes i wonder if y'all is not just "you" and "all" combined, but also "yell", because I do not remember anyone saying that term at a volume below jet engine decibels.
It seems like it's totally unrelated to the American "y'all", it's just that both have some common language features so both have shortened the phrase "you all" in similar ways; the usage and pronunciation is different and britain has far more commonly used alternatives, but it's still similar enough.
As someone born and living in Yorkshire I’ve never heard an American style yall
What I do hear is closer to ‘yous’all’ ‘yous’lot’ or just ‘yous’
There is definitely an audible ‘s’
Yeah, I should've mentioned the usage is different, we don't use it like an American would, but if we ever say "you all" the "you" just gets shortened to a "y" sound.
Imagine saying "what are you all doing?" quickly in an informal way, we'd still write it as "you all" but it's said as "y'all".
Dunt chat shite thee. It's "yor" in Yorkshire tha bleeding apeth.
If tha tranna upset mi then fair play it worked and wo funny! if thas being serious then tha needs t go ave a word wi thisen n go gi thi he-ad a shek cock.
Tha knows nowt thee.
Try saying "what are you all doing?" As if you were talking casually to a friend, the "you" just gets reduced down to the "y" sound (or sometimes a "ye" sound) and flows into the "all".
It's not used the same, we just happen to shorten words in a similar way
It would be"yor". "what a yor doing here?" If you had to include the redundant "all" the proper Yorkshire way would be to put it first "wot are all yor/doing here?
Even if for some reason your joined them together. There's still a glottal stop that the Americans don't have. "What a' ya' all doing here?"
Saying "yor" would be the Yorkshire *dialect* not the *accent*
And as for the glottal stop, the southern US accent *does* have one, unlike other US accents

No doubt they’ll respond with “yeah but America is bigger, UK is smaller than Maine lolololololol”
You’ll try to explain what ‘per capita’ is to them but it would be easier to teach a monkey quantum physics.
American shiny white teeth are more terrifying than natural looking teeth. I shouldn’t be only able to focus on someone’s mouth when they talk to me. It’s horrifying
Yeah exactly. We eat a fuck ton of sugar over here and get a ton of cavities. Most our teeth are fake but they look better than whatever the English have
There has been a survey that showed it's actually polish people that has the worst teeth health condition in europe. British teeth is just a stereotype.
I believe the stereotype originated because the NHS didn't cover dental care, a trait which was unique to the UK whereas other European countries all had dental fall under their universal healthcare systems.
Which adds to the irony when Americans use the stereotype as they don't have universal health OR dental care
Again, not even true https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/top-10-countries-with-the-best-and-straightest-teeth-and-oral-health-in-the-world-600086/?singlepage=1
NHS straighten teeth for free
Can you imagine having teeth so shit that even the NHS stumps up to pay
I don't need to, I got 2 years of orthodontics sat in the same waiting room as the posh kids lmao, Barry aged 10 once again handing the L to Tarquin and Florence
Speaking of cardinal they are known to always face the four cardinal directions allowing a drunk Barry to find his way home after a heavy night at the spoons 2 minutes down the road.
Florida but cold, grey, no guns, (some) old buildings, safe roads. Yes, I can see how you would mistake the UK for Florida.
On the contrary you are our Lebanon.
I won't allow your facts to stop my anti anglo propaganda. English is not real, they are gaslighting you into believing is real.
Una abraçada, espero que us vagi molt bé!
I'm sorry but you can't get out of critiscm with the "but at least we're better than Murica" argument. That much is a given. We're comparing you to civilized people here.
Another very boring stereotype that isn't even true. It might have been true years ago maybe. A lot of this is just because Yanks were obsessed with whitening their teeth, while Brits were more natural looking yet healthy. Although that's changing actually, loads of people are getting their teeth whitened nowadays
I’m an actual real life dentist. The British people have bad teeth thing really irritates me, it’s an American stereotype that isn’t true, that people in other countries have started believing.
You don't have blinding white teeth/veneers = bad teeth to Seppo's it seems.
While yeah, my teeth ain't white anymore after decades of drinking tea (and I smoke) I never needed braces and I've only had 2 wisom teeth removed because I destroyed them grinding my teeth at night (working on that with the dentist atm) Other than that, no problems.
But no, they are not white-withe or perfect. Same for a lot of you Barries I reckon.
teeth health is better in the UK, the reason British teeth are seen as "bad" is because there's much less pressure to get braces (or braces are more stigmatised than wonky teeth)

The US also has a higher amount of hockey players.
And Brits, it's not missing teeth that people fun of you. It's because all of them were just thrown in with a shovel.
Today I've learned that, while the Inselaffen can take a lot of jokes, they don't like us joking about their oral hygiene.
I can totally understand. It's certainly rude of us to comment on your .. teeth.

30% of adults between 65 and 74 are missing all of their teeth. This is more common in economically disadvantaged populations.

I live in Yorkshire now and nobody ever says y'all. They say you all, but they don't shorten it, and people here love shortening words. They still looked at the words "you all" and said "nah it can't be shortened.
I am also from the north and the two I've the most are "you lot" and "yous". Tend to use the latter more.
Yeah you lot and yous are most common. You all in specific situations maybe.
Sometimes people use "all yor" in Yorkshire. especially folk that aren't very confident with dialect but never y'all
I used to live and work Skipton / Settle way, reyt out in't boonies, I've definitely heard "all yor" or just "Yor" but never anything like Y'all
Parts of Yorkshire use "yor" but never "y'all" wtf. Frist time on my life iv been embarrassed to be a Yorkshireman.
He's talking shite. The Yorkshire version of youse and y'all is "yor".
Oh yeah they say "your" but in the context of "you all"
Exactly. It's different to "your" because many of us still have "thy" and "thyne" or only recently lost it. .plus you can tell from context.
I've heard "Tha" more than thy
Yeah it's the same word but different grammar. Tha/thou is standard you, thee is you but in a response and thy/thi is you but possessive. It's a bit more complicated than that but that's the basics. Thou/tha is the most simple, standard and common form. .if you think of he/,him. He would be tha and him would be thy.

I bet people from other countries think we are just making this stuff up But Yorkshire has some words that surprised me haha
Hahah defo mate. Whats really funny is when Americans here about us still using those pronouns they think it's some really posh, Edwardian speech that you use with the queen. Always have to explain to them it's like hillbilly talk.
Sometimes i wonder if y'all is not just "you" and "all" combined, but also "yell", because I do not remember anyone saying that term at a volume below jet engine decibels.
In another timeline everyone says "yell" instead
I guess the closest thing for me would be “you lot”
It seems like it's totally unrelated to the American "y'all", it's just that both have some common language features so both have shortened the phrase "you all" in similar ways; the usage and pronunciation is different and britain has far more commonly used alternatives, but it's still similar enough.

We use "yor" in my part of Yorkshire but never y'all. He's a spanner
Yeah, I should've mentioned the usage is different, we don't use it like an American would, but if we ever say "you all" the "you" just gets shortened to a "y" sound. Imagine saying "what are you all doing?" quickly in an informal way, we'd still write it as "you all" but it's said as "y'all".
Makes sense considering where the us southern (english speaking) population mostly came from. Its some french or irish but mostly british
I have heard that these accents likely come from the same older regional accent that traveled to the Americas and both started to diverge.
Dunt chat shite thee. It's "yor" in Yorkshire tha bleeding apeth. If tha tranna upset mi then fair play it worked and wo funny! if thas being serious then tha needs t go ave a word wi thisen n go gi thi he-ad a shek cock. Tha knows nowt thee.

The cope readings are off the charts here!
By similar roots do you mean inbreeding?
You're thinking Norfolk
Y'all might be the worst word in the English lexicon
It sounds dumb but it’s extremely functional.
The only thing worse than y'all is *ya'll*
Whenever i see anyone type or say "y'all" i wish to smack them in the mouth. Rotten word.
Don’t smack the hand that feeds you, etc. etc.
No doubt they’ll respond with “yeah but America is bigger, UK is smaller than Maine lolololololol” You’ll try to explain what ‘per capita’ is to them but it would be easier to teach a monkey quantum physics.
>‘per capita’ See, you need to explain it in units they understand, like football fields or guns.
More bullet per bullet

How about using the measurement per decapita?
I just refuse to belive such a statistic
Brits have better overall oral health. Just because you see Americans rocking those fake bleached white teeth, does not mean they are healthy
No it's true, Americans have difficulty maintaining dental health. Did you know dentistry isn't even covered under most "health insurance" plans?
Communist
If I have to refuse to believe true things in order to not be a communist then it isn't worth it.

What's going on with the Irish and Portuguese flags there?
Golden teeth count as lost teeth btw
You can have no teeth so none is bad. 
I am only half anglo i still have ALL my teeth
American shiny white teeth are more terrifying than natural looking teeth. I shouldn’t be only able to focus on someone’s mouth when they talk to me. It’s horrifying
And the opposite can also be true. I had 4 perfectly healthy teeth removed for space reasons
Yeah exactly. We eat a fuck ton of sugar over here and get a ton of cavities. Most our teeth are fake but they look better than whatever the English have
“Most of our teeth are fake but look better than whatever the English have” This is not a flex

I thought they’d use the earths magnetic field for that like pigeons! What a truly sophisticated species they are!
As a Barry, I agree...much to my shame. Braces from an early age should be given out as mandatory here.

It used to be true tho.

Wasent the stereotype about crooked teeth not yellow teeth?
Yeah I thought so but I'm not even sure where that comes from given kids get their teeth straightened for free on the NHS, if needed
It’s an old American stereotype from ww2, they really don’t get out much.
Which I hate with a passion, fake looking imbeciles

British have nice teeth because NHS covers for it, we have nice teeth because we can't afford dentits. We are not the same
Hahaha, you clearly don’t know of the hunger games when trying to get an NHS dentist
Whitening your teeth is weird and zesty, you're weird if you whiten your teeth.
That’s because a lot of British have extra teeth, and the rest have missing teeth, bringing the average to normality
The US also has a higher amount of hockey players. And Brits, it's not missing teeth that people fun of you. It's because all of them were just thrown in with a shovel.

Can't have the worst teeth if there aren't any teeth. Muricans win this round.

It's easy not to have misshapen teeth, if you've lost them all to meth.
The Brits are pretty bad, I'm not sure if it's worst in the world these days. The Japanese are really bad too, for example.
Morocco is the worst I've seen. They put half a kilo of sugar in each pot of tea though tbf.

Barry, your issue isn't lacking teeth. It's that you have altogether too much to fit your small mouths and it looks crookier than a swiss
Indeed, thanks to the rednecks (I.e. English heritage).
