holy cow...just went looking for the origins of "yinz" and found out about "western pennsylvania english." My wife does the "needs/likes/wants + past participle" thing listed in the wikipedia article[1], and I never knew it was commonplace in some parts of the U.S.

Hmmm... It is a common usage in Appalachian East Tennessee also. I suspect it's more generically Appalachian than just Pennsylvania.

Wikipedia says only outsiders say "Pittsburghese", but I've only ever heard it, and never "Western Pennsylvania English."
