The two groups of vowels are used in vowel harmony, which apparently is based on a neutral vs retracted tongue root distinction.

<w j y> are used to indicate syllable breaks before /u i y/ respectively. If the vowel following the syllable break is a non-high vowel, then <w j y> are used after /u i y/ respectively. If the vowel either side of the syllable break is a non-high vowel then <'> is used.

<'> is also used to break up ambiguous digraphs, e.g. <th> /tʰ/ vs. <t'h> /th/

<ट्रिमू खाहूंर् ध्राय्हड्र् हूपू> (ṭrimū khāhūṃr dhrāyhaḍr hūpū)

All in all quite a cool phonology! The prenasalisation could be marked quite easily; Devanagari works quite well apart from the vowels. Hopefully it shows up for everyone. Edit: Here's an alternative with prenasalisation and no marker for word-final consonants, these are left up to the reader:
<ण्ट्रिमू खाहूँर ध्राय़ण्द्र हूम्पू> (ṇṭrimū khāhūṃra dhrāyhaṇḍra hūmpū)

Second Edit: For a keyboard friendly transcription, just replace all the underdots with capital letters and the long vowels with double vowels: NTrimuu khaahuuMra dhraaYaNDra huumpuu.

Triple Edit: I found that languages with murmured sonorants write them as C+h ligatures that I had in the first place. I also found that it's more likely that e: and o: would be transcribed with e and o and the open E: and O: would be transcribed as ai and au. I still can't find any precedent for representing front rounded vowels! All Indian languages seem to be very keen on their symmetric ten-vowel systems or a reduction thereof. Does anyone have suggestions on the front rounded vowels? It's frustrating because otherwise the language fits very well to Devanagari.

*does this word not violate the C(G)V~CV(C) syllable structure?

[Znex]

I'm having a few problems trying to romanise this language I call Proto-Oenj:

C:


V:


Phonotactics:

Any word is comprised of only one syllable of the forms
(C)(C)V(T)(C) or
(C)V(T)(C)(C)
where T = one of five tones

Allowed onsets:
C = all except /l w/
V = all according to the rules given below

Allowed vowels:
VT = all vowels except /ɔ ɞ ø̞ ɘ/ (except in the pattern CCVTC)
V = /ɔ,ɞ,ø̞,ɘ,a/ (except in a special class of words)

Allowed clusters:
Onset clusters: Nasal clusters (excluding geminating clusters), C + /l/ and /ŋkʼ/
Ending clusters: Nasal + /kʼ/ and geminated endings

Allowed endings:
C = /m, n̪, n, ŋ, kʼ, t, l/
V = all according to the rules given above

Some of the consonants aren't too hard to do:
/m ɱ n̪ n ŋ ɴ/ <m mj ? n nj ?>
/p t k/ <p t k>
/l j w/ <l j w>

The vowels however are quite a lot harder to deal with.

T:
As according to the major pentatonic scale:
/1/ - tonal note
/2/ - tone above /1/
/3/ - 2 tones above /1/
/4/ - 7 semitones above /1/
/5/ - 9 semitones above /1/

eg. sentences:

/amt5 nɤl2 ø̞ ol4 tul1 tu ɤ2n/

/ji5 ŋɞn ji5 ɱy4 an ji5 ɔ ɱy4 ji5 ɴa aŋkʼ ja œ2n̪ ji5 o4l/

/nu1 amt5 kʼo2 tɑ1 oŋ3 ɔkʼ ʔo1 te2 nu1 ɴa3 pe1 oŋkʼ3 kʼo2 to3l/

/ʔɑ4 pe1 ʔɑ4 amt5 ʔɑ4 kʼo2 ʔɑ4 nœ2 ɔ ɱy4 al ta5 ʔɑ4 ta ŋɞn̪ ɱy4 ankʼ e2 ʔɑ4 œn̪2 ʔɑ4 ŋɞkʼ/

(btw words with seemingly no accent take on the previous word's accent)

[kanejam]

/m ɱ n̪ n ŋ ɴ/ <m v n d g q>
/p t k/ <p t k>
/l j w/ <l y w>
The nasals could probably be done better, with accents maybe.

/i y u/ <í ű ú>
/e ø ɘ ɵ o/ <é ü i u ó>
/ø̞ ɵ̞ ɤ̞/ <ö ý a>
/ɛ œ ɞ ɔ/ <e ö y o>
/a ɑ/ <ä á>
You know this vowel system is a bit unweildy right? What are the tones? They are just marked with abritray numbers 1-5 after the whole syllable.

It's also nice to post an example sentence with the phonology so people can test drive their romanisation and see how it looks in practice.

/i y u/ <í ű ú>
/e ø ɘ ɵ o/ <é ü i u ó>

/a ɑ/ <ä á>

The vowel system was deliberately set up to cram as many odd vowels and contrasts in as was not completely insane and so seemed somewhat alien, so I can definitely see it being unwieldy.

And I was going to post a sentence or so, although I guess I figured I didn't have enough words or something stupid like that (although I've already been messing around with a few ideas for a pictographic proto-script).

I'll append a few sentences to my first post in eight hours after I've slept.

[Nortaneous]

You do realize how completely implausible that inventory is, right?

Anyway, with a vowel system that large, using anything but IPA will just end up confusing you and everyone else.

Syllable structure: roughly C(S)V(S)(C) with S being one of /m n w l ɹ j/. V can also be one of /m n w l ɹ j/, when it is so no initial consonant is needed.

Most (if not all) consonants can be geminated

Worst known syllable: /ɹnjujʧ/ (The /ju/ is the diphthong, so it doesn't violate the syllable structure)
This time, every consonant should be represented in the sample sentences, and most of the vowels. (all, if you ignore length distinction)
