Wonderful! I love dialects. I have heard a few of these words in Canada. Sluch for mud, Pown for beaten, Bargein (heard this one in a pub in Montreal). Sluch is mostly mud with snow, Pounding hammer in extension a pounded thing is beaten up, I've heard: "He got pown in the alley." And for sure the bloke was beaten up. I have heard jiggert in the sense of tired once. You could tell it wasn't Canadian not Unitedstatian. We have Irish, Scottish and English diaspora in Canada, Montreal is very cosmopolitan.
When I met my scouse girlfriend she would say "talk normal will you" when I would say "T'other day" to her lol. She can talk can't understand her half the time lol.

The Wigan dialects are funny, but from what I've observed I think they are dying out and the local accent is dissappearing, probably due to the influx of "outsiders" from other areas like the south. I live in Ashton and all I hear are Mancs and scouse accents, I'd say Manc accents are very common around here for some reason. Noone talks like Fred Dibnah anymore (just using a good example lol), it's all "Hey guys" "Bye, see ya later" talk. I suppose it's because noone's working "down't pit" anymore.
I'm a wiganer, this dialect has almost gone. The youngest generation all talk wi that silly pretend manc accent that the english rappers talk in. It's embarrassing
Yep completely agree. Yeah there is alot of Manc accents around Wigan now, not so much closer to Wigan but where I am in Ashton the Manc accent (or what sounds like it) is everywhere, all the younger people between 15-50 talk like Liam Gallagher, and it's all crap like "Hey guys, what you upto?" and "Bye, see ya later". What happened to words iike tarrah that Cilla Black always used to say, I used to always hear people say that when I was young.
Another fantastic upload into this insight of Language thanks for these uploads

My Grandad used to speak like this but with a slight difrences he was from hindley I found that people from Leigh spoke much the same
My family’s from hindley green/leigh and your right it’s similar
Hindley Green is an elite place
As a Wiganer born and bred it always amazes me that in most other areas "moggies" are cats yet in Wigan moggies are mice.
I live in wigan and they've always been those flies that come out in summer and eat you alive.
