  • yins, yinz, yunz, you'uns, or youns pr. Second person plural personal pronoun.[2][3][16] (McElhinny 1999; Wisnosky 2003; Johnstone, Andrus and Danielson 2006).
Geographic distribution: Southwestern Pennsylvania and elsewhere in Appalachia (see above citations).
Further explanation: See yinz article. Yinz is a particularly salient feature of Pittsburgh speech,[9] possibly because it has no equivalent in Standard American English, though other second-person plural pronouns, such as "y'all" in Southern American English, do exist.
Origins: Along with the yous of New Jersey and the y'all of the South, yinz is Scots-Irish[16] (Montgomery 2001)
