'Y'all' is a contraction of 'you all,' and it is a commonly used phrase in Texas and throughout the southern United States. It is used to address a group of people, and can be used in place of 'you' plural. While it is most commonly associated with Texas and the southern accent, it is also used in other parts of the country and in some other English-speaking countries.

The use of 'y'all' in Texas is so widespread that it has become a defining characteristic of Texan dialect and culture. It is not uncommon to hear it in everyday conversations, and it is often used in literature and media to create a sense of Texan identity.
