Grammar
Monumbo distinguishes five gender classes for singular and dual third-person pronouns, but only two gender classes (masculine and feminine) for third-person plural pronouns, a typologically unusual feature. There are five genders for the third-person pronoun, which are masculine, feminine, neutral, diminutive, and miscellaneous genders. Mambuwan subject agreement prefixes are: : Mambuwan has a general oblique case marker –unum ~ -Cusum for nouns: :ŋait-unum :fire-OBL :‘in/at/with/through fire’ Mambuwan also makes use of postpositions such as ŋaŋ ‘inside’: :su ŋaŋ :water inside :‘in the water’ Mambuwan has highly complex verbal inflection. ==Nouns==
