The minority languages in Northwest China include Salah, Uyghur, Turkic, Kazakh and Mongolian. The plural marking of nouns of minority in Northwest China has its unique commonness and individuality. Many languages have the problem of high or low usage of plural noun markers, but there are also many languages that are not limited by the frequency of use, and can be casually replaced in daily use. The plural noun marking of Northwest minority languages has its unique character, which is also a cultural characteristic of different ethnic languages. From the perspective of linguistic typology, this study makes a comparative analysis of the commonness and individuality of the plural marks of the northwest minority nouns, in order to help us deepen our understanding of the grammatical forms of the Northwest minority nouns.
