Languages without formal plural on nouns (ex. Chinese (Sinitic, Sino-Tibetan), Japanese (Japanese-Ryukyuan), Hixkaryana (Ge-Pano-Carib)), Kilivila (Oceanic, Austronesian), Coptic (Egyptian, Afro-Asiatic).Languages where pronouns have highly idiosyncratic but not entirely suppletive plural formation (ex. Tungus-Manchu languages (Altaic), Nganasan (Samoyed, Uralic), Old/Middle Egyptian (Afro-Asiatic)).Languages where pronouns form their plural by vocalic (Yukaghir (isolate)) or consonantal alternation (Pengo and Kannada (Dravidian)).Languages where not all pronominal forms have number markers coinciding with the nominal plural markers (ex. Maidu (Maiduan), Fox (Algonquian), Haida (isolate)). (Filimonova 2001)

The counterexamples require the following amendment to Uspensky’s statement :If pronouns form their plural with a special number marker added to the singular form, then the plural markers of nouns and pronouns (or at least some of them) coincide; if nouns lack any plural marker, then the plural marker of pronouns coincides with the collective marker of nouns, or with the marker with the meaning ‘and others’, or with the verbal number marker. (Still offensive: Old Egyptian (Afro-Asiatic): number markers on personal pronouns -na (Pl.), -nii (Du.) do not occur on nouns. (F. Kammerzell, p.c.))
