しゃあない。お前かて人間やで。
I get the meaning of the sentence, but I'm wondering, is there a nuance behind かて? For instance, between お前も人間やで。and お前とて and お前でさえ ?

The quote up there sounds Kansai to me; maybe it's dialectal?– AngelosOct 19 '18 at 19:10

かて is Kansai dialect. It is difficult to translate into English, but the usual meaning is similar to "even if...". It is used in place of the standard Japanese particles ~でも、~も or ~さえ、and the verb conjugation ~ても.
Example (like ~ても):
そんな事ゆうたかて、出来へんもんは出来へんねん。 No matter what you say, what's impossible is impossible.
今からやったかて、無理ちゃう？ Even if you start now, it's already hopeless, isn't it?
Example (like ~さえ):
そんなん小学生かて知ってるわ。 Even elementary school kids know that.
あたしかていややわ、そんなん。 I don't want to do that, either

I often hear ちゃう as well at the end, is that the way they say だろう ? 無理ちゃう Oct 20 '18 at 15:25

ちゃう is 違う in Kansai ben and used more frequently than it's standard japanese counterpart. See e.g. this conjugation table: kansaiben.com/1.Characteristics/2.LinguisticAspects/… Another example of ちゃう: 雨じゃない -> 雨ちゃう Oct 20 '18 at 22:45
