'''Netagin''' (''ärək Nätagin'' ) is one of the major languages of [[Verse:Tricin]], native to the island nation of Ponetegu. It is a triconsonantal language loosely inspired by Hebrew and PIE.


This page describes Classical Netagin. Similarly to Modern Hebrew, Modern Netagin is morphologically similar to Classical Netagin but exhibits a kind of diglossia: the classically-based "correct" vocalization (such as mutations) is used only by the upper classes, in newscasts or in poetry and classical singing, like the RP accent in English.
This page describes Classical Netagin. See also [[Modern Netagin]].

The Classical Netagin noun system is typical of "old" Talman languages: nouns, which have gender, inflect for number and state; verbs take both subject and object affixes and display changes according to their syntactic environment.
