Isn't that super Yankee?
Quite the opposite actually since "y'all" is associated with the Southern United States
"Yank" is what people outside the US derisively call Americans, "Yankee" is what Southerners call Northerners
In the Spanish-speaking world there are definitely a lot of people calling USians "yanquis". So yeah, to me y'all is specifically yanqui.
In Finnish, the the equivalent word is "jenkki" (the j is pronounced like y)
People in the Southern states see themselves as different from the North, but to everyone else around the world they're all just a bunch of annoying Yanks ๐
