Any ideas?

This is Romlangy, but yet different. But it all depends on your sound changes and conhistory.

¹The letters in the digraph are reversed when in coda. /ni/ (if it exists) is spelled <ņi>, /si/ is spelled <ci>, /zi/ (if it exists) is spelled <z̧i>, and /li/ (if it exists) is spelled <ļi>.
²What's the deal with this anyway? I hope <ng> will work.
³/ki/ is spelled <qui>.
⁴It seems like /j/ doesn't cluster, so this should work.
⁵You didn't have a single instance of /w/. I hope it works the same way as /j/.

Un lob, cu acotrat un ain abolad es so cab, deziet nie caber es, oc dezilar cail acuz iutesegar a ain al dilet co al lob at madogar es.

And now I see that sangi39 had done almost the exact same thing. :/

That's a really cool orthography! I like <å> for [ɒ], though I was worried that it's not found in Romance generally...

Yeah, it's a little odd. But I was thinking that maybe /ɒ/ could have been spelled <ao>, and that could easily evolve into <å>. Now that I see that it comes from au, maybe <ă> would be better?

Caledonian
/m n ɲ ŋ ɴ/

/f s ç x χ h/

/r/
<r>
/w l j/
<w l y>
/ʘ ǃ ǂ/
<pp tt cc>
/a i u/
<a i/e u>
/i/ is spelled <e> next to a digraph with <i>. Working out the details is too hard without a sample text.

/m n ɳ ŋ ɴ/
<m n n ng ng>
/p t ʈ k q/
<b d d g g>
/pʰ tʰ ʈʰ kʰ qʰ/
<p t t c c>
/f s ʂ x χ h/
<f/ph s/th sh/th ch ch h>
/r ɽ/
<r/th r/th>
/w l ɭ ɣ ʁ/
<w/bh l l gh rh/gh>
/a i~ɨ u/
<a i y u>
The second option is for mutated consonants. I would need a sample text to see how much ambiguity this orthography would result in.

å is used in some romlangs, just not the well-known ones. europe doesn't fuck with breves.

The language once had a ten-vowel system with a +/- ATR distinction, but the -ATR vowels merged with the +ATR leaving pharyngealization on the preceding consonant. Similarly to Arabic, the pharyngealized velars became uvular while the pharyngealized glottals became pharyngeal. I was using <aV> for the -ATR vowels, so [sˤanˤo] <saanao> but I'm not too happy with it and want to see if anyone has a better idea.

No sentences yet, but some words: [sˤanˤo] [sχʷexts] [t'aʕu] [rˤitʃ’nukʷ] [ptalˤ] [sqnexʷ]

Also, sangi39, that Saanich looks cool, although I'd probably write the vowels /a e ə i (u)/ <a e o i (u)> for simplicity:

mə́k̕ʷ kʷəčíl̕ ʔi əw̕ k̕ʷəw̕ə́y̕kʷ tsə spáal̕. ŋə́n̕ tsə ŋənŋə́nəʔs tsəw̕níɬ spáal̕. k̕ʷék̕ʷiʔ ʔal̕ ʔə́wənəʔ stéŋ sʔíɬəns.
Móug kuočíl̕ ‘i ow’ guow’óy’ku co spáal’. Ṅón’ co ṅonṅóno’s ców’níś spáal̕. Guégui’ ‘al̕ ‘ówono’ stéṅ s’íśons.

On second thought, never mind, that's way too much <o>...

I was thinking of adding a <ȯ> which would replace the <w> of syllable-final labialised consonants giving:

[sˤanˤo] <sano>
[sχʷexts] <shwëjc>
[t'aʕu] <dä’u>
[rˤitʃ’nukʷ] <rïžnükȯ>
[ptalˤ] <ptälı>
[sqnexʷ] <skınehȯ>

...just to tidy it up a bit, effectively giving the impression of a (C)CV(C) structure and almost looks like it keeps consonant-based digraphs down.

Revived Middle Cornish
It's difficult to say what the phoneme inventory is, because all sources disagree with each other. But something like this:
/m mː n nː/
<m mm n nn>
/p pː b t tː d k kː ɡ/
<p pp b t tt d k kk g>
/tʃ dʒ/
<ch j>
/θ θː ð f fː v s sː ʃ x xː h/
<th tth dh f ff v s ss sh gh ggh h>
/r rː/
<r rr>
/l lː j ʍ w/
<l ll y hw w>
/iː iʊ yː uː/
<i iw u ou>
/ɪ ɪː ɪʊ ɤ oː/
<y y yw oe oe>
/ɛ ɛː ɛɪ ɛʊ œː ɔ ɔː ɔʊ/
<e e ey ew eu o o ow>
/a aː aɪ aʊ/
<a a ay aw>
Consonant gemination only occurs in stressed syllables. Stress is usually on the penultimate syllable. Monosyllabic words may be either stressed or unstressed. When suffixes are added, the stress moves, so because of this words may have doubled letters even in unstressed syllables. These consonants are still pronunced short though. Double plosives that are not word-final are realized as short, but they also make the previous vowel short.
Only stressed vowels may be long. In loanwords vowel length may be unpredictable, but in native words it's predictable from the following consonant or consonants. [ɤ] is the short counterpart of /oː/. /yː œː/ become [ɪ ɛ] when short. I have no idea what happens to /iː uː/ when stress moves from away from syllables with these vowels.
Two vowels that don't form one of the above diphthongs are in hiatus when they occur next to each other.
Monophthong may centralize when unstressed, but the exact rules are unclear. /b d ɡ ð v/ become unvoiced word-finally, unless immediately followed by a word beginning with a vowel. /x/ become [h] intervocalically, and <h> is not used in this position. Short /s/ is [s] word-initially and before a voiceless plosive, and [z] elsewhere. Some new loan words may have /z/ initially, and this may be spelled with <z>.

I added the phonetics to this sample, so I'm not entirely sure of how correct it is.

I'm very tired, so please tell me if you spot something you think might be an error.

EDIT: Added what I think are all the geminate consonants to the inventory, and wrote a little more about them in the first paragraph.
EDIT2: Forgot to add ː on kilometer on line 5, and genev on line 7. Also added interpunctuation where it was missing in the phonetic transcription.
