Shalaic

Netagin (Năttuovin) is a 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 sixth 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 share common features:
- Preglottalization
- A large vowel system but with no front rounded vowels
- Historical non-rhoticity
- Verb-initial syntax
- Split-ergativity
Phonology
"Sami but more Judeo-Gaelic and Hebrew" or "Windermere but more Sami"
Vowels
/i ɨ u ɛ ɔ ə a iə uə eə oə ai əi əu/ i ĭ u e o ă a ie uo ea oa ai ăi ău
Proto-Netagin a ā i ī u ū ə + modal/stød -> a uo e/ea i/ie o/oa u/uo ĭ/ă

- w ww hw /w kw xwː/
- s ss ș șș ł łł ð h hh /s sː ʃ ʃː ɬ ɬː ð h xː/
Stress is always initial.
Gemination is phonemic: nC yielded the weak geminates and stød + C yielded the strong geminates.
