Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

Is there any reason why the Cyrillic version of Lezgian doesn't represent aspiration of voiceless plosives? I mean they don't turn up in the sample you've given or any of the sample vocabulary on Wikipedia, and Omniglot just full on misses them out, but it is stated on Wikipedia that they are phonemic. Are they just rare enough that marking them is no real concern?

Tense vowels:
/i y ɯ u/ ı uı ıu u
/iə yɵ ɯə uɵ/ ıe ue ıo uo
/eɯ̽ øʊ ɤɪ oʏ/ eı eu oı ou
/əɯ̽ ɵʏ/ aı au
/ɛ ɔ/ e o
/a/ a

Lax vowels:
/ɪ ʏ ɯ̽ ʊ/ ı uı ıu u
/eɪ øʏ ɤɯ̽ oʊ/ eı eu oı ou
/əɪ ɵʊ/ ai au
/ə ɵ/e o
/ɒ/ a

/a˥˨ a˨ a˥/ à a á
/a̰˥˩ a̰˨˩ a̰˥˦/ â ā ǎ
/a̤˦˩ a̤˩ a̤˦/ ạ ă ȧ
The lowest/first vowel in a diphthong receives the diacritic.

/a aː aːː/
ˀ follows long vowels and ˤ follows overlong vowels.

/n ŋ/ n ŋ / m v
/t k ʔ/ t k p / d g b
/s x h/ s x h / z y c
/ɾ/ r / l

The first set of consonants goes with the tense vowels, the second one with lax vowels.

Pitch accent

O = any consonant
G = j ɥ ʍ ɰ w
V = any vowel, diphthong or syllabic consonant
C = m n~ŋ pʰ b̥ tʰ~kʰ d̥~ɡ̊ ʔ ɸ β s z ç~x ʝ~ɣ ɬ~ʎ̝~ɬˠ r l~ʎ~ɫ
Glides can not follow after an ejective.
Two glides can't appear next to each other.
An unrounded glide can't appear between two rounded phonemes (bilabial consonants, labialized consonants, m̩, rounded vowels), except between two nucleuses.
Syllabic consonants don't occur before or after corresponding non-syllabic consonants.

This may be plain, the variation is in the vowels.

What's the underlining for?

Flitiane
/p b f v s z t d/ <p b f v s z t d>
/ɪ i æ o aʊ ʊ aɪ eɪ u e ə a/
<y i ae o au u ay ey w e eo a>
Apostrophe used for disambiguating vowels in hiatus, for example /a.e/ becomes <a'e>. (But for example /u.e/ would be just <ue>, not *<u'e>, because there is no diphthong /u͡e/.)

/sɪdu, pedosvoz tɪsətɪ fu/
Sydw, pedosvoz tyseoty fw.

/sɪdeɪ sifɪ fu.
Sydey sify fw.

Probably [ije] with underlying /iʲe/.

Sweet, thanks. I like how your romanization doesn't use aposthropes.
