| ==Introduction==
| |
| '''Modern Netagin''' (''nðoḡin'' [ləˈðogin]) is the modern descendant of [[Classical Netagin]]. It is a prestige language in Talma, and is currently the most spoken Talman language.

| |
| ===Consonants===
| |
| Modern Netagin lost [[Classical Netagin]] gemination, and gained new consonant contrasts as a result.

| */d/ is often a tap [ɾ] before a vowel.

| |
| <!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
| |
| ===Morphophonology===
| |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| Modern Netagin morphology is simpler than Classical Netagin. Verbs are simpler than nouns.
| |
| ===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===
| |
| Similar to Scottish Gaelic and Welsh, in using analytic constructions with auxiliaries and verbal nouns instead of conjugated verbs.
| |
|
| |
| There are only two tenses: past and non-past.
| |
|
| |
| Modern Netagin has an unusual form of split-ergativity in that ''ergativity marks tense'' in transitive clauses: When an ergative preposition is used, the clause is in the past tense; otherwise, it is in the non-past tense. This came about via the conflation of two prepositions ''să-'' 'in, at' and ''se3þe'' 'after' in an older split-ergative system. For intransitive clauses, the past tense is marked by an ergative preposition used on the subject, even though the subject is not syntactically ergative. Hence, Modern Netagin does not have genuine split-ergativity but rather a tensed pronoun system like Wolof.
| |
| ====Non-past====
| |
| :'''''Se ʔaḏnaʔe rȝun ʔaxd.'''''
| |
| :PRED cook.VN vegetables NPST.1SG
| |
| :''I am cooking vegetables.''
| |
|
| |
| ====Past====
| |
| :'''''Se ʔaḏnaʔe reȝun yix.'''''
| |
| :PRED cook.VN vegetables PST.1SG
| |
| :''I cooked vegetables.''
| |
|
| |
| ===Derivational morphology===
| |
|
| |
| ==Syntax==
| |
| Unlike Classical Netagin, Modern Netagin is a VOS, split-ergative language.
