Is there an archaic second person plural pronoun and if so what is it?

Yes, there is an archaic second person plural pronoun: ye.

Ye was commonly used in older English, especially in literature and poetry, to refer to "you" when addressing multiple people.

Here are some examples of its usage:

* "Ye olde shoppe": This is a common phrase that uses "ye" in its archaic form.

* "Hear ye, hear ye!": This phrase is often used to announce something important, and it uses "ye" in its imperative form.

While "ye" is rarely used in modern English, it can still be encountered in older texts, religious contexts, and sometimes in poetic or dramatic works.

The modern equivalent of "ye" is "you."
