| About 20 commentaries have been written on Nannūl up to 19th century CE.<ref name="books.google.com"/> Nannūl was divided into five sections: [[written language]], [[spoken language]], [[semantics]], poetic language and [[rhetorical device]]s. The latter three sections have been lost, so only the parts on written and spoken language are extant today.<ref name="Sadasivan2011"/>
