Modern Vernacular Netagin (VNtg) exists in a state of diglossia with Modern Classical Netagin. It exists in a sprachbund with Modern Windermere, Gwnax and other Bjeheondian languages.
Grammatical changes from Classical Netagin include:
- SAuxVO word order
- Loss of grammatical gender
- Loss of verbal binyan inflection, and use of verb-derived nouns (both old verbal nouns and less direct derivations, including reborrowings from CNtg) as verbs
- Relative clauses are resumptive
- As a result of Jespersen's cycle, negation uses a negative absolutive marker dean derived from the Classical connegative determiner de.
- SEA style serial verbs
- Emphatic -nk (< miek)
Modern Netagin people usually have Classical Netagin names
This article treats Bjeheondian Netagin; Tumhanian Netagin is tonal or Khmerized.
