Not proper but it scans as “wait till”, as “til”, “till”, and “until” are interchangeable in common English, “till” being a somewhat archaic but still often used version.
The preposition till is ubiquitous in informal register of modern English; nonetheless, in formal register it is often replaced with until or to, except in some varieties, such as Indian English. This predisposition is likely influenced by the widespread misapprehension that till is a clipping of until, which it is not (until being an enhanced form of till). The spelling 'til, itself also deprecated by some writers, was born of that same misapprehension.
Til/Till is used quite a bit below the Mason Dixon line on the Eastern coast of the US, often related to time. Wait’ll is super prevalent there in speech.
Just out of curiosity: What do you think 'll is the contraction of?
