>tu', is rarely used (only in the South)

even in places and situations where 'tu' is used it's mostly still conjugated as if it were second person singular.

'EU BEM QUE TE AVISEI - TU EMPINOU ELE PEI'

You mean it's conjugated like the third person singular, i.e. like você or ele or "a coisa" (the thing).

yes sure, my bad

Oh, interesting, is vosmicê a mispronouncing of vós mercês too?

I believe so, and tuh (or thu, don’t remember) linked in the article has the same sound

In European Portuguese the two forms are still equally used

vossa mercê, vosmecê, vossemecê.
