Netagin (Nydoghin) is an Ashkenazi Hebrew- and Welsh-inspired Shalaic language. It is related to Shalaian but phonologically is less conservative.

About

External history

This is the fifth 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 Galatian-inspired than Shalaian.

Phonology

A "Polish Welsh but more Judeo-Gaelic"

Vowels: /i y ɨ u ai au ay ɛ ɔ a eə oə/ i u y ó ae ao au e o a ea oa

Consonants:

  • soft mutation:
    • p b t d h ts dz tʂ dʐ tɕ dʑ k g q (p b t d h c dz cz dż ć dź k g q) -> b v d ð dz z dʐ ʐ dʑ ʑ g ɣ ɴ (b v d ð dz z dż ż dź ź g gh l)
  • geminates (from creaky voice) become fricatives: p’ t’ tɬ’ tʃ’ k’ q’ h -> f θ ʂ ʂ x χ s (f þ sz sz ch lh s)
  • fricatives: s ʂ ɕ h (s sz ś h)
  • others: m n ɴ (historical L~historical ʕ) r w y ʔ

Stress is always penultimate.

nC -> CC

Morphology

Nouns

Grammatical gender is animate vs inanimate, and is not marked unlike in Shalaian.

Plurals are bad:

  • i-affection
  • reduplication
  • -ög

dual is -odd /od:/

Pronouns

Independent pronouns

  • 1s chweal
  • 2s chweað
  • 1d chweażav
  • 2d chweaniv
  • 1p chweaż
  • 2p chweani

Possessive markers

  • 1s czolal 'my house'
  • 2s czolað 'your house'
  • 3s ynczolas 'his/her house'; czolas 'its house'
  • 1d czolażav
  • 2d czolniv
  • 3d czolav
  • 1p czolaż 'our house'
  • 2p czolni 'y'all's house'
  • 3p czolad 'their house'

Syntax

SOV head-initial? OVS? Lushootseed (predicate first)?

Myl las loszað, byżral = Give me your hand, my love

Vocabulary

Shalaian as major loan source?
