Somewhat similar, here in Scotland we often say "youse" to mean "you and those with you", or "youse two" to mean "you two".

A similar concept exists in Mandarin Chinese, where "ni3" means "you" and "ni3men" to mean "you and those with you", but there is also "ta1" as a gender-neutral, singular "they" (that is, he/she), and "ta1men" as a gender-neutral, plural "they".
