| ==Introduction==
| |
| '''Modern Netagin''' (''nıðagin'' [ləˈðogin]) is the modern descendant of Classical [[Netagin]].
| |
|
| |
| Modern Netagin has changed relatively little from Classical Netagin. Similarly to Modern Hebrew, Modern Netagin is morphologically similar to Classical Netagin but exhibits a kind of diglossia: the classically-based "correct" vocalization (such as observing initial consonant mutations) is used only by the upper classes; in newscasts and in some public oratory; or in poetry and classical singing, much like the RP accent in British English. Modern Netagin pop culture is very well-known worldwide; among non-Netagin, the language is often learned by Netaginophile otakus.
| |
|
| |
| This article will give both the "Received Vocalization" (RV) and the common vocalization (CV), where the two differ.

| ==Phonology==
| |
| ===Vowels===
| |
| Same as Dodellian: a ı u ä i ü
| |
|
| |
| ==Numbers==
| |
|
| |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| Much of Classical Netagin noun morphology is preserved: nouns inflect for number and absolute and construct states, and may take possessive suffixes. Nouns have three principal parts: absolute singular, absolute plural and construct singular.

|
| |
| ===Adjectives===
| |
| Adjectives in ''-in'' decline as follows:
| |
|
| |
| {| class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align: center;"
| |
| |+ ''nðoḡin'' 'Netagin'
| |
| |-
| |
| ! !! Singulative !! Plurative
| |
| |-
| |
| !Masculine
| |
| || ''nðoḡin'' || ''nðoḡino''
| |
| |-
| |
| !Feminine
| |
| || ''nðoḡiye'' || ''nðoḡiḇ''
| |
| |}
| |
|
| |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| Colloquial Modern Netagin is similar to Scottish Gaelic and colloquial Welsh, in using analytic constructions with auxiliaries and verbal nouns instead of conjugated verbs - but they're syntactically ergative. High-register Modern Netagin uses conjugated verbs like Classical Netagin.
| |
| ====Present====
| |
| :'''''Se ʔaḏnaʔex es rȝun.'''''
| |
| :in cook.VN-1SG DEF vegetables
| |
| :''I am cooking the vegetables.'' (lit. "The vegetables are in my cooking" i.e. in the process of being cooked by me)
| |
|
| |
| Compare an intransitive clause:
| |
| :'''''Se mir es sam.'''''
| |
| :in walk.VN DEF dog
| |
| :''The dog is walking.''
| |
|
| |
| ====Past====
| |
| :'''''Vat ʔaḏnaʔex es rȝun.'''''
| |
| :after cook.VN-1SG DEF vegetables
| |
| :''I cooked the vegetables.'' (lit. The vegetables are after my cooking.)
| |
|
| |
| ====Pluractionality====
| |
| Verbal nouns may be pluralized to mark pluractionality (an action occuring multiple times or affecting a plural number of patients). Pluractional verbal nouns are also used as an antipassive, to some extent.
| |
|
| |
| ===Derivational morphology===
| |
|
| |
| ==Syntax==
| |
| Unlike Classical Netagin, Modern Netagin is a VOS, split-ergative language.
