'''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. See also [[Modern Netagin]].

'''Classical Netagin''' (English: /nɛtəˈgiːn/; Classical Netagin: ''bărits năþâgin'', [[Eevo]]: traditionally ''Nyðogín Afẃr'' 'Noble Netagin', [[Clofabosin]]: ''netagoserotin/netagosin''), also called '''Old Netagin''' ([[Eevo]]: ''Nyðogín Dair''), is a triconsonantal language descended from [[Ancient Netagin]]. It was the language of the Netagin Republic in Ancient Talma and lent some loans to other Talman languages such as [[Eevo]] and [[Bênôcian]].

===Processes===
The obstruents /p t k tʰ kʰ f θ x/ are lenited to [b d g t k v ð ɣ] after a vowel and after voiced sounds (including lenited obstruents, and except /ɾ/). This is called ''ʔankadö'' in Netagin.
 
Morphologically, sequences /rC/ often turn into geminates, due to historical assimilation.

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.
Netagin uses a consonantal root system like the Semitic languages. Most roots have three consonants but some may have two or four, the latter mostly in reduplicated or onomatopoeic roots.

===Nouns===
===Nouns===
Classical Netagin has innovated a sex-based gender system with masculine and feminine genders:
Nouns are traditionally divided into two genders (masculine, feminine), but a four-gender analysis ({masculine, feminine} × {animate, inanimate}) is more common in modern linguistics. There is an inverse number suffix (one for each gender): animate nouns have an unmarked singulative and the inverse number suffix in the collective while inanimate and mass nouns have the inverse number suffix in the singulative and an unmarked collective.
 
There is also a construct state, which is often marked with stem changes.
 
Nouns have a definite article ''ʔes-''.
 
Classical Netagin has also innovated a sex-based gender system with masculine and feminine genders:


# Ancient Netagin had an honorific distinction which required agreement in verbs and adjectives.

This led to many "great", "majestic", "sacred" or "specialized" objects being feminine in Classical Netagin.

The demonstratives are ''ŋo'' 'this' and ''ri'' 'that'. With nouns, demonstratives may either precede or follow the noun but there's a difference in connotation. For example, "this bird" is either ''ʔes-xod ŋo'' or ''ŋo ʔes-xod'', but the latter has the force of "this very bird".

====Ergative affixes====
Classical Netagin is syntactically ergative. Word order is subject-verb in intransitive clauses and object-verb-subject in transitive clauses.
Ergative affixes are prefixes: they're placed before the subject prefixes if there are any.
===Ergativity===
*''wi'' = ergative particle


*''ʔEs-þay hichem.'' = Father returned.

*''ʔEs-mâȝ hiskăȝö wis-þay.'' = Father saw Mother.
==Syntax==
Classical Netagin uses Austronesian alignment.
===Case markers===
The two case markers are:
*''ʔes'' = indirect case
*''yi'' = direct case
===Preverbs===
When preverbs such as negation or subordinate conjunctions are used, the verb takes the "opposite" aspect of unpreceded verbs:


*''ʔEs-þay hiskaȝ wis-mâȝ.'' = Mother saw Father.
*''låxx'' 'I come (imperfective)', ''så xalån'' 'I do not come (imperfective)', ''niþ xalån'' 'if I come (imperfective)'
*''xalån'' 'I came (perfective)', ''så låxx'' 'I did not come (perfective)', ''niþ låxx'' 'if I came (perfective)'


*''ʔEs-þay hichem dă ʔes-mâȝ hiskăȝö wis-þay.'' = Father returned and saw Mother.
===Relative clauses===
 
Netagin relative clauses often use the verbal noun instead of a finite verb (cf. ''the flavor of your choosing'').
*''ʔEs-þay hichem dă sökeȝ xaþ-þay.'' = Father returned and saw Mother. (using the antipassive)
 
*''ʔEs-þay hichem dă hiskaȝ wis-mâȝ.'' = Father returned and Mother saw Father.
