 [[Netagin/he|דף זה בעברית: '''נתגין''']]
-'''Netagin''' is intended to be my "real" jump-on-the-pseudo-Celtic-bandwagon - a morphophonological rather than syntactic imitation of Celtic, specifically within a Semitoid framework. It is an ''a priori'' language intended to have a [[w:Northwest Semitic languages|Northwest Semitic]] and [[w:Irish language|Irish]] aesthetic, (Indeed [[w:Tiberian Hebrew|Tiberian]] [[w:Hebrew language|Hebrew]] and [[w:Aramaic language|Aramaic]] are the most stereotypically "Celtic" of all Semitic languages, with their use of lenition. So much that I was once tempted to make an Irish-looking Semlang. For the curious, it resulted in something like
-:'''''A chathabh an séibhear an seabhar ba bhíth an dtóir?'''''
-:<small>Q write.3SG.M DEF scribe.ABS.DIR DEF book.ABS.DIR LOC house.CONST.GEN DEF purity.ABS.GEN</small>
-:''Did the scribe write the book in the house of purity?''
-This project can be considered a compromise between the two aesthetics, bent rather more toward the Semitic side.) and also as a semi-joke, though I'm not sure if it is best understood as laughing with or at Israelis/Modern Hebrew for their mutational challengedness. (So if any of you Semitic speakers and Semiticists are reading this please excuse the language's being in the Semitic-ness uncanny valley; it's part of the humor value.) It employs templatic morphology, animacy hierarchy-based person marking and mutation-triggering proclitics encoding multiple grammatical functions such as topic-prominence, TAM and modality/evidentiality.
