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

Me speak whole heap of languages. (Only correct version).
The tires them (dem) in the shed outta front. (Correct non-standard)
The tires, they're in the shed out front. (Correct standard)

What you going to do later?
Wash me clothes them (dem) (short reply exception)
