Méníshè is an agglutinative language. It is generally head-final and features polypersonal agreement.

Nouns

Verbs decline for singular and plural number. The plural is generally marked with a suffix, but can also be irregular and unpredictable from the singular form. Nouns fall into one of six classes: air class, water class, fire class, earth class, human class, and magic class. Class is marked by a prefix on the noun (if at all).

Verbs

Verbs conjugate for tense, aspect, polarity, and evidentiality. The tenses are the plain and the habitual tense. The aspects are imperfective and perfective. Verbs have positive or negative polarity. The two evidentiality categories are direct and indirect.
