In the Unbegotten timeline, '''Netagin''' (''ne Natagin'' [nɛː nətɐːˈgiːːn]; folk etymology connects the name with the root ''n-t-g'' 'to sing') is a classical language of Edna's conworld, belonging to the [[Idavic languages|Idavic]] language family. Netagin has influenced many other languages, especially [[Ouřefr]] and [[Shalaian]]. Netagin is intended to be optimized for writing piyyutim: like Hebrew, Netagin has triconsonantal morphology, final stress and stressed suffixes, so that it is natural to rhyme by having the last syllables the same like in Jewish piyyutim. It tends to be verb-initial and head-initial like Hebrew, and its morphosyntactic alignment is split-S with some Austronesian elements. | In the Unbegotten timeline, '''Netagin''' (net-ə-GHEEN; ''ne Natagin'' [nɛː nətɐːˈgiːːn]; folk etymology connects the name with the root ''n-t-g'' 'to sing') is a classical language of Edna's conworld, belonging to the [[Idavic languages|Idavic]] language family.

The spread of the vegan philosophy and religion Qypadkiism (''ně Qypadkinůn'') elevated Netagin to the status of a classical and liturgical language throughout the entire Idavic-speaking world. Netagin had a nickname "the Language of the Řix" (''byrůc nie Řix''), after the letter for ''ř''; It was the only language known to its speakers to have the Czech ''ř'' sound. | The spread of the vegan philosophy and religion Qypadkiism (''ně Qypadkinůn'') elevated Netagin to the status of a classical and liturgical language throughout the entire Idavic-speaking world.
