Funny how now the meanings have completely changed with "thou" being reserved to church language or poetry and sounding very formal and you being the informal...
However if you want simple pronouns...go with Chinese...you've got words for I - "wo3" , you - "ni3" , and he/she/it - "ta1"...if you want to make them plural i.e. we, y'all, them you just add "men2" to the end
so you have "wo3 men2" "ni3 men2" and "ta1 men2"
As a note:
Different cases of "thou" and how they relate to other pronouns are:
I me my mine
Thou thee thy thine
