Going by that logic how do you guys distinguish the singular "you" from the plural "you"?
We distinguish by saying "você" and "vocês"

You can be singular or plural.
Local dialects have "y'all" or "yous" but it's not considered proper. Which is stupid as frick because we should have a plural you.

We do have a plural "you." We do not have a singular "you." Consider what verb conjugations have subject/verb agreement with "you."
Those local dialect options are extra-plural, I guess?

At least in German you have all that declension stuff to disambiguate between "formal you" ("Sie" ), "they" (sie), "her" (sie), and "she" (sie). Which makes the language 10 times more annoying to learn

You for singular
Yall for addressing a group of people
All y'all for addressing a class of people

You is technically the plural form, equivalent to вы or vous or vosotros. Thou would be our singular equivalent to tú or ты. It's gone out of style (though some regional dialects still use distinguish between them). So it's technically fine to just say "You" when it comes to plural subjects.

"Vous" in french is used for singular as well

You / Y'all
It's the easiest way to say it without sounding like an r-slured yankee, and it's good because west coastcels underestimate you. (They have no plural 2nd person other than something
like "folks"--"you guys" was cancelled. 
)

Not having the Oxford comma in Portuguese is the most r-slurred shit ever, those fricking politicians are always fricking around with the language but they never think of putting something useful in it.

That being said, let's use the example
"This book is dedicated to my parents, Ayn Rand and God"
In Portuguese it would be
"Este livro é dedicado aos meus pais, Ayn Rand e a Deus"
People would understand clearly that "parents" does not refer to Ayn Rand and God. If her parents were Maria and João then it would be
"Este livro é dedicado aos meus pais: Maria e João"
That's the way to distinguish, by using the double punctuation ":"
