As a rural west coaster, Ya'a' (pronounced yuh-ah) will do.
So that's where we get TV "southern" from...
Share this to scare a conservative
I don't think conservatism is about being rational it's about maintaining tradition or maybe morality, however it was defined by the previous generation.
Conservatism is about making it illegal for the rest of the world to exist in a manner other than the one that you personally want it to.

Tbh, I've heard more y'alls in the San Francisco Bay Area than in Texas (I've live din both). Granted I lived in an immigrant-heavy place in Texas that I didn't even live in for that long.
I'm Texan. I say y'all quite often. Subconsciously. But when I think about it, it always seems weird. Like if I TRY to use it then it always seems wrong.
I've always used y'all when greeting strangers because of this very reason.
People should leave "y'all" alone. It doesn't belong to anyone. It is a natural contraction of "you" and "all" that several cultures have independently produced as part of their vernacular.
I am a Yankee from a state with a Canadian border.
I started saying y'all because it's ungendered!
