Them (dem) 

Jamaican dialect

Used as a susbtitute for the subject pronoun (non-standard) or the Demonstrative pronoun those.

Much like the object pronoun me replaces "I" informally.

It used as a plural marker in some cases but, not always and is used most times when it's replaceable with the subject pronoun they.

Eg.

Me speak whole heap of languages. (Only correct version).

The tires, they're in the shed out front. (Correct standard)
