Abstract
Abstract Synchronic Akan has a nominal prefix system which shows that the language once had a noun class system. This observation is supported by genetic, morphological, morphosyntactic and semantic evidence. However, unlike the Bantu languages, there is conclusive proof to show that the noun class system in Akan has decayed. From the current state of the language it is argued that a new noun classification system may be emerging which is built around the plural marking system.
