 Cualand Netagin is a relex of Shinach Netagin with Classical words as well as occasional some syntactic and phonological influence. It's mutually intelligible but sounds a bit archaic to speakers of Shinach Netagin. The grammar is mostly Shinach (analytic verbs etc.)
-Unusually for a Cualand language, the syntax has very little influence from English; the reverse sometimes happens -- the English of Netagin speakers uses VSO structures, fronting and constructions like "verb an adjective verb-ing" more than Standard English. This makes Netagin English generally sound "poetic" or "fancy" to other Cualanders.
