In Tricin, '''Netagin''' (English: net-ə-GHEEN; natively ''ne Nătahin'' [nɛː nət̪ɐːˈɦiːːn]; [[Nurian]]: ''xi Nŧeahem''; [[Naeng]]: ''fi brits Inthăgin''; [[Eevo]]: ''a łynǿñ Ynþyjín'') is a major [[Bjeheond]]ian language and an isolate within the [[Idavic languages|Idavic]] language family. It is native to [[Verse:Tricin/Tumhan|Tumhan]] (Netagin: ''Tumhan'' /tʉmˈɦan/). Classical Netagin has influenced [[Naeng]], [[Nurian]] and [[Ksieh]]. Netagin is intended to be optimized for writing poems in Hebrew piyyut meters (without being a Hebrew giblang): 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 and predicate-first with some Austronesian elements. Netagin is the most grammatically conservative extant branch of Idavic, because it has preserved Proto-Idavic triconsonantal morphology and morphosyntax. Despite being a head-initial language like most Talman languages including [[Naeng]] and [[Talmic languages]], as well as Hebrew and Irish, Classical Netagin grammar is meant to have some alien features even to speakers of these languages. Hebrew is a heavy inspiration for the diachronics, however (except postvocalic lenition). | In Tricin, '''Netagin''' (English: net-ə-GHEEN; natively ''ne Nătahin'' [nɛː nət̪ɐːˈɦiːːn]; [[Nurian]]: ''xi Nŧeahem''; [[Naeng]]: ''fi brits Inthăgin''; [[Eevo]]: ''a łynǿñ Ynþyjín'') is a major [[Bjeheond]]ian language and an isolate within the [[Idavic languages|Idavic]] language family.

This is the seventh version of Netagin. Its aesthetic is inspired by Hebrew, Maltese, Czech/Slovak, Middle Vietnamese and [[Naeng]]. Its morphology is inspired by Semitic, its morphosyntax by Lushootseed and Austronesian, and its motion verbs by Slavic. | This is the seventh version of Netagin.
