Cualand Netagin is a relex of Shinach Netagin with Classical words as well as occasional some syntactic and phonological influence. It's mutually intelligible but sounds a bit archaic to speakers of Shinach Netagin. The grammar is mostly Shinach (analytic verbs etc.) | Cualand Netagin is a relex of Shinach Netagin with Classical words as well as occasional some syntactic and phonological influence.

Unusually for a Cualand language, the syntax has very little influence from English; the reverse sometimes happens -- the English of Netagin speakers uses fronting and constructions like "verb an adjective verb-ing" and "to where are you?" ("where are you going?") more than Standard English. This makes Netagin English generally sound "poetic" or "fancy" to other Cualanders. | Unusually for a Cualand language, the syntax has very little influence from English; the reverse sometimes happens -- the English of Netagin speakers uses fronting and constructions like "verb an adjective verb-ing" and "to where are you?/where are you to?"
