*I believe those of the U.S. closer to the southern hills differentiate these with tis, thar, yer/yur and yor, respectively...
That is not as far off the mark as you think.
Standard English does not differentiate between "you" (singular) and "you" (plural).
It it correct to say:
"Would you (John) like to visit me on Saturday?" and
"Would you (John and your family) like to visit me on Saturday?"
In the Southern United States you would say:
"Would you (singular) like to come over for the game on Saturday?" or
"Would y'all (plural, bring the family, we're cooking a pig) like to come over for the game on Saturday?".
In the Northeast United States you would say:
"You (singular) want to come over for the game on Saturday?" or
"Youse (plural) coming over for the game on Saturday? Bring some beer and your sister 'cuz she's hot and I'd like to do her."
Y'all
Youse

Wouldn't you say:
"¿Tu/Usted como me visitaría el sábado?" or
"¿Vosotros/Ustedes como me visitaría el sábado?" ?

Don't confuse New York State with New England.
The only youse I use is use and my upbringing says I shouldn't use you as youse because it's not good to youse people.
Seems long forgotten but there was armed confrontation betwixt New Hampshirite and New Yorker colonials; that's how Vermont came to be.
That aside -- don't confuse the rest of New York State with New York City and its particular suburbs, either.

Here's me thinking it would be more like:

An bhfuil sibh ag teacht leis an bpáirtí
...but, hey, I speak very, very little of any sort of Gaelic and never realized how similar the English and Irish diction.

i am not an irish expert either(the opposite actualy) but i do know that that sentance is perfect.
but i think there is another way of saying it.(again;i am rubbish at irish)
and we mainly speak english here,irish is only speaken all the time in certain areas.
and the fact that i know that it is right is because our teacher teaches us stuff about 5 years ahead.
our neighbour is in 3rd year(?) and he only started learning verbs while we learned it in fifth class.

I am always fascinated with foreign accents/dialects based on the English language, and of course, we only get samples of the North American language from Hollywood films, and U.S. radio broadcasts, which may not accurately represent the local U.S. dialects!
I get my daily dose of California accents from...>>>

I was trusting the Translater at

;
However, in latter grade school I was forced to take French and remember that tu was a dearly personalized form of vous, the common French equivelent of English you (the Franks were Germanic but their conquered subjects, the more numerous Gauls, were mainly Celtic).

Irish
is
Celtic, part of the Goidelic branch: Celtic is an overall group of languages, the other major branch being Brythonic (as the Cymric and, as best we know, the ancient Gauls).

Creek is a southeasterly US, Native North American linguistic group; unless you've made a remarkable discovery, they've no known association with the rest of the modern world.

Which reminds me that I would still like to learn to speak Cherokee, since my great, great grandfather was a full blooded Chief. But I doubt I have the intelligence to learn, especially this late in the game.
If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Wouldn't you say:
"¿Tu/Usted como me visitaría el sábado?" or
"¿Vosotros/Ustedes como me visitaría el sábado?" ?
Spanish is a little bit complicated
For example Ustedes and "Usted" singular and "Tu" and "Ustedes" is the same but "Tu" is more like a closer person you wouldn't never call "Tu" the king of England or a kid calling a grown up person "Tu" that would be "Usted" and "Tu" for sisters ,wife ,girlfriend everyone in simv
Now we don't use Vosotros, Vos we use "Ustedes" Usted which is the same but this is Spain/Argentina spoke
and Both are wrong Webb would be like this
Me visitaria
Usted
el sabado?
we don't have auxiliary verbs
example
Does she knows how to drive?
in spanish
knows she how to drive?......something like that
