1: What Is Digital Dialect? And what dis they do for Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus?
They converted Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus from the PlayStation versions to the Windows versions.

2: In the opening Munch's Oddysee movie, what kind of water was Munch swimming in?
Salt water, indicated by its greeness. To be more precise, it was in the ocean to the Death of Mudos (using proper Oddworld compass points, of course). The Map of Oddworld Alf gave us would have us believe he then made his way up the delta of a meandering river, although this same map has many discrepancies that make us ponder its validity.

3: What symbol/logo was used to represent the Slig Guard Towers, it is similar to the Sloghut logo/symbol, but not in design-wise.
I think you're talking about the industrial building we saw in the Slig Toss video. In that case, the 'symbol' was a huge orange-yellow stained-glass window fashioned to resemble a bomb. The Slig Guard Towers have no symbol, and can only be seen in the Cmera Movement video.

4: In production designs of the Vykkers Labs what were the posts/docks (where the Blimps would dock) made to represent (an oddworld creature)?
Vykkers. They did in production design, and they still do. If earlier production design was different, I don't know about it.

5: Name all the Sligs/Vykkers that have differed from the normal occupation of that creature. I will except both types or the characters names.
The first Vykkers that springs to mind is Headley, the fancy-speaking sophisticated Vykkers who has left his career in science to execute more exotic and subtle pain on creatures by emptying their wallets.

On to Sligs, I assume you're taking the 'normal' Slig occupation to be security guards and soldiers. It may interest you to know that Sligs are also the secretaries, assistants, personal slaves, administrative staff, public relations and masters of ceremony for the Glukkon civilisation. However, taking the guard/soldier as typical:

There's Crig, once a columnist, now a Meep herder.
The Gameshow Host Slig who wears a dress and works on Name That Trauma.
The Newscaster Slig, who is a news anchor for the Magog On the March current events program.
The Operator Slig, scratcher of underarms and presser of buttons.
Skillya - well she's not a security guard, is she?
The Stock Broker Slig, temporarily replacing the Chroniclers hile Maggie remains in their bad books.
Toast, personal assistant/slave to Molluck.
And the Valet Slig - slave dealer, TV host, personal slave and stand-up comedian, though not all at once.

And lest we forget the Albino Slig Larva who needs to escape the Slig Birthing Complex to avoid being rejected by Skillya, although you could hardly call that an occupation.

In addition, there's the Sligs in the Sloghuts who, although armed, are employed to train the Slogs, and the Foster Sligs that look after newly hatched Mudokon labourers.

Then there's the Brewmaster's assistant.

And the Signaler Slig.

And Phleg's Pure Bone Brew PR Slig.

You probably get the picture.
