Old Netagin is a triconsonantal language inspired by Tiberian Hebrew. It was the language of the Netagin Republic in Ancient Talma and lent some loans to other Talman languages such as Tíogall (though Modern Tíogall is still about as pure as German).

Phonology

Front vowels /i e ɛ/ are centralized to [ɨ ɘ ɜ] after pharyngealized or uvular consonants.
