The same happened with Portuguese in Brazil, 'Vós Mercês', which is formal, is used throughout the country as (simplified) 'você'. And the informal form, 'tu', is rarely used (only in the South).

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

vossa mercê, vosmecê, vossemecê.

In European Portuguese the two forms are still equally used

>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).
