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

Conservative grammar, less conservative vowels?

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.

Phonology

Vowels:

• full: i u e~ai o~au ɛ œ ɔ a eə oə i u ae ao e ö o a ea oa
• reduced: ə ɨ ʉ ă ĭ ŭ

Consonants:

• soft mutation:
  • p b t d h tʃ dʒ k g q (p b t d h č j c g q) -> b v d ð z dʒ ʒ g ɣ ɴ (b v d dh z j ž g gh l)
• ejectives and geminates (from creaky voice) become fricatives: p’ t’ tɬ’ tʃ’ k’ q’ h -> f θ ʃ ʃ x ħ s (f th š š ch ħ s)
• fricatives: s ʃ h
• others: m n ɴ (historical L~historical ʕ) r w y ʔ

Stress is always penultimate.
