In most Cualand dialects of Netagin, the phoneme <r> is in the process of merging with <ř> and the process is complete for many younger speakers. (The orthography still distinguishes them, the trilled r is written rr.) For them, ř does not trigger an irregular gizra in newer words. A notable exception is in the parts of Cualand settled by Hivantish speakers; for them ř merges with l. | In most Cualand dialects of Netagin, the phoneme <r> is in the process of merging with <ř> and the process is complete for many younger speakers.

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 ( | 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 VSO structures, fronting and constructions like "verb an adjective verb-ing" 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 VSO structures, fronting and constructions like "verb an adjective verb-ing" more than Standard English.
