'''Netagin''' (''Năhtuıyin'' /ˈnəʔtʰʉjin/) is a Sami, Hebrew and [[Windermere]]-inspired Idavic language. It is related to [[Shalaian]] but phonologically is less conservative. Like Shalaian, Netagin is an inflected head-initial language, but has a more fusional morphology: both nouns and verbs are inflected using stem changes (Sami-style consonant gradation, umlaut and creaky voice ablaut) in addition to prefixes and suffixes. It also retains older Idavic morphology such as cases and the dual. The relationship between Shalaian and Netagin is analogous to that between Centum and Satem IE languages: labiovelars become plain velars and plain velars become the ''c̦''-series in Netagin. | |||
Shalaian and Netagin belong to a common sprachbund. They are two different branches of the Idavic family that convergently evolved to share the following features: | |||
*Preglottalization | |||
*Large vowel system | |||
*Historical non-rhoticity | |||
*Verb-initial syntax | |||
*Split-ergativity | |||

This is the | This is the sixth reincarnation of Netagin (my past Hebrew-inspired conlangs). | ||
I was getting bored of standard-fare Semitic and Celtic aesthetics, so I decided to try out a much more (mainly Northern and Skolt) Sami aesthetic and make the Hebrew influence much more subtle (at least phonologically). | |||
===Internal history=== | |||
Netagin is a conlang created by Edna Ashe. Like its relative [[Shalaian]], it is loosely inspired by Hebrew, Welvington English, and Celtic languages (Old Irish, Judeo-Gaelic and [[Verthanic]]). | |||
Both Netagin and Shalaian are used as liturgical languages in Ashe's personal system of spirituality. | |||

**y yy gyy hy hyy /j cː ɟː çː çːː/ | |||
**w ww gww hw hww /w kʷː gʷː xʷː xʷːː/ | |||
The back liquid /ʟ/ is realized as a pharyngealized nasalized uvular approximant [ʁ̃ˁ]. /ʟ/ and its gradated counterparts come from a merger of Proto-Idavic *l, *ʕ, and often *q. | |||
===Stress=== | |||
Stress is always initial, ignoring derivational prefixes. | |||
===Gradation=== | |||
There are 2 gradation grades in Netagin morphology, respectively termed ''weak'' and ''strong''. Gradation is purely morphological and is no longer phonologically conditioned: different forms of a word may require different grades, and a form may be marked through gradation alone. | |||

====Historical geminates==== | |||
Geminates historically arose from historical nC, /ʔ h/ + C, C + /ʔ h/ → C: sound changes, before gradation became morphologically significant. In Modern Netagin geminates almost always turned to preaspirated or preglottalized stops, except after resonants. | |||

===Phonotactics=== | |||
Initial sC clusters are valid in names and loans from Shalaian. | |||
==Morphology== | |||
===Nouns=== | |||
Netagin has singular, dual, and plural numbers, and animate and inanimate genders. Some inanimates end in ''-ă'', which is cognate to the Shalaian honorific suffix ''-er''. They have three cases: nominative, accusative and genitive. | |||
Netagin nouns take the definite article ''pă'' and the specific article ''nă''. | |||
