The incorrect spelling of the contraction "y'all." In English, we use the apostrophe to replace letters when squishing two or more words together. In the case of y'all, the apostrophe replaces "ou" in "you" or "a" in "ya," depending on whether or not you can pronounce "you" correctly (you all or ya all). The sound of "all" does not change. "Ya'll" would more correctly be a contraction for "ya will," and it sounds like "yuh-ull" because ya sounds like "yuh" and "'ll" sounds like "ull." In this case, the "ya" sound does not change.
