The language is neither an Ergative-Absolutive language, like Minhast, nor is it a Active-Stative language, like Nahónda. Instead, Nankôre is a Direct-Inverse language, where a nominal hierarchy determines the syntactic role of core arguments. The nominal hierarchy is complex; at least ten noun classes based on animacy can be identified, and within those classes sub-hierarchies are observed based on semantic features, although discourse processes (e.g. the introduction of new arguments that are roughly equal in animacy with previously established arguments) may affect how direct-inverse marking is expressed. | The language is neither an Ergative-Absolutive language, like Minhast, nor is it a Active-Stative language, like Nahónda.
