Grammatical gender is animate vs inanimate, and is not marked unlike in Shalaian.


Plurals are bad:  
animate:
*i-affection: ''czowan, czuwen'' 'cloud'
nominative: qoahđbi /qʰoəθːpi/, qoađbidd /qʰoəðbitː/,  qoađbun /qʰoəðbun/ <- PShal *qũdba, *qũdband, *qũdbaan
*reduplication: ''raudżos, rodżaudżos'' 'fern'
genitive: qoađbăt /qʰoəðbət/, qoađbinid /qʰoəðbinit/, qoahđbă /qʰoəθ:pə/ <- *qũdbat, *qũdban=igid, *qũdbii
*''-óg'': ''folar, folaróg'' 'rose'
inanimate
 
nominative: qoahđb, qoađbădd /qʰoəðbətː/, qoahđbu <- *qũdbu, *qũdbund, *qũdbaa
dual is ''-odd'' /od:/
genitive: qoađb, qoađbinid /qʰoəðbin/, qoađbuk <- *qũdbuk, *qũdban=igid, *qũdbaak
 
The definite article is ''ki'' (cognate to the Shalaian definite article ''ħi''):
*The animate singular uses the aspiration mutation (from the abstract-honorific singular *-ʀ)
*The inanimate singular uses no mutation
*The plural uses the soft mutation

Netagin (Nătuovin) is a Hebrew, Sami, Romanian and Polish-inspired Shalaic language. It is related to Shalaian but phonologically is less conservative.

Netagin has notably developed Uralic-style consonant gradation. It also has non-rhoticity as a historical sound change, a sprachbund feature it shares with Shalaian.

About

External history

This is the fifth reincarnation of Netagin (my past Hebrew-inspired conlangs). I'm probably going to take a lot of aesthetic influence from Windermere and Skellan.

Internal history

Netagin, like its relative Shalaian, is also inspired by Hebrew and Philadelphia English but Netagin is more Judeo-Gaelic and ___-inspired than Shalaian.

Internal² history

Shalaian and Netagin belong to a common sprachbund. They are two different branches of the Shalaic family that convergently evolved to be head-initial and ergative.

Phonology

A "Polish Sami but more Judeo-Gaelic and Hebrew"

Vowels

/i ɨ u ɛ ɔ ə a eə oə ai ei oi/ i î u e o ă a ea oa ai ei au

Consonants

  • Nasals: m bm pm n dn tn /m pm m̥ː n tn n̥ː/
  • Stops:
    • p pp hp b bb hb /pʰ pːʰ ʔpʰ p bːp hp/
    • t tt ht d dd hd /tʰ tːʰ ʔtʰ t dːt ht/
    • c cc hc z zz hz /tsʰ tsːʰ ʔtsʰ ts dːts hts/
    • ċ ċċ hċ ż żż hż /tʂʰ tʂːʰ ʔtʂʰ tʂ dːtʂ htʂ/
    • ć ćć hć ź źź hź /tɕʰ tɕːʰ ʔtɕʰ tɕ dːtɕ htɕ/
    • k kk hk g gg hg /kʰ kːʰ ʔkʰ k gːk hk/
    • q qq hq l ll hl /qʰ qːʰ ʔqʰ ʟ ɢːq χː/
  • Other resonants:
    • r rr hr /r tr r̥ː/
    • j jj hj /j cː çː/
    • v vv hv /v kv fː/
    • s ss ṡ ṡṡ ś śś h hh /s sː ʂ ʂː ɕ ɕː h xː/

Stress is always initial.

Gemination is phonemic: nC yielded the weak geminates and stød + C yielded the strong geminates.

Morphology

Nouns

Grammatical gender is animate vs inanimate, and is not marked unlike in Shalaian.
