there are serious linguists (e.g., Jan Tillery and Guy Bailey) who maintain

that singular y'all is found in the South (if you count Oklahoma). Look



I don't count Oklahoma, but Jan and Guy also have data from other places

(a survey of Memphis business people and data from the Southern Focus

Poll). HOWEVER... last I heard these were all self-reports, not actual

tokens.
