You could classify endlessly but this should do:
Proper nouns are capitalized and unique: England, February, Hoover, Janice, Christianity
Common nouns are all other nouns: country, month, vacuum, name, religion
Countable nouns can be pluralised: pen, school, car, cloud, mat
Mass nouns don't have plurals: weather, joy, oxygen, furniture, cutlery
Collective nouns describe a group: herd, faculty, clutch, team, convoy
Concrete nouns refer to things: animal, pebble, tree, hand, radiator
Abstract nouns refer to concepts: happiness, brightness, humidity, appearance, religiosity
Pronouns replace other nouns: he, she, we, them, it
Pronouns can be active: I, he, she, we, they,
or passive: me, him, her, us, them

How Many Nouns In English

Oxford Dictionaries claims about 180,000 words in the English language. About half are nouns. No indication if those include proper nouns.
The real question should be: are there more or fewer concepts (common nouns) in different languages? My guess is there might be more words but humans are, well, human and we probably all have the same thought processes. Put enough who speak the same language and you might have very much the same number of concepts as any other similar language group.

There are about 2,000,000 words in the English language, more than in any other language in the world. A random look at any page in a dictionary will show that about 75% of the words are nouns.
Therefore, a good guess is 1,500,000 nouns.

There are many nouns, but i can't tell you how many, because their are nouns, their are pronouns,abstract nouns, and many more, but the basic is that a noun enable us to name thing that exist in the world, nouns refers to a thing a person or a substance.example She likes chocolate, Were us the cat, I'll have two sugars,thank you.hope this helps.

That's funny: A drawer of pantheists. I like that. I guess two pantheists would be a pair of pantheists, or can we refer to a single pantheist as a pair of pantheists? Hmmm . . .
