Abstract: Essential $\aleph_0$ -categoricity; i.e., $\aleph_0$ -categoricity in some full countable language, is shown to be a robust notion for strongly minimal compact complex manifolds. Characterisations of triviality and essential $\aleph_0$ -categoricity are given in terms of complex-analytic automorphisms in the simply connected case and correspondences in general. As a consequence, we point out that an example of McMullen yields a strongly minimal compact Kähler manifold with trivial geometry but which is not $\aleph_{0}$ -categorical, giving a counterexample to a conjecture of the second author and Tom Scanlon.
