I wrote:I'd like to see how you guys romanize Luworese:

/m n ɲ ŋ/
/p t ts tɬ tʃ c k ʔ/
/ɸ s ɬ ʃ h/
/β ð l j ɰ w/

/i ɯ u e ɤ o a/

/β ð/ are realized as after nasals, and, like Finnish /d/, are products of lenition and do not occur word-initially in native vocabulary
Vowel harmony prohibits /u o w/ from occurring in the same word as /ɯ ɤ ɰ/

Possible syllable structures are:
CV
CV1V2 where V2 is a vowel either identical to V1, generating a long vowel, or closer, generating a diphthong
CVQ where Q is a sonorant or gemination of the following consonant


I'm loving the different styles of romanization you've chosen. I realized belatedly there are some phonological details I forgot to mention that might have affected the choices some of you made:

*The "palatals" /c ɲ/ are technically alveopalatal/palatalized postalveolar [t̠ʲ n̠ʲ], like the "palatals" of most Australian languages, not dorsal palatals/prevelars. Stupid vague palatal IPA characters that I use as convenient shorthand.
*Strictly speaking, I should have said "nasal, /l/, or gemination of the following consonant" instead of "sonorant or gemination of the following consonant". /j ɰ w/ can't end a syllable unless you analyze [i ɯ u] in the second component of diphthongs as coda /j ɰ w/, and I also realize that in some languages /h/ is treated as a sonorant.
*/n/, alone among nasals, assimilates in point of articulation to any following consonant. For instance, /ɲp/ is [ɲp], but /np/ is [mp]. Underlying clusters of coda /n/ and an onset glide become a geminate of the nasal corresponding (more or less) in POA to that glide: deep, morphophonological-level /nj nɰ nw/ surface as [ɲː ŋː mː].
*/h/ is realized as [ç x xʷ] before /i ɯ u/ respectively.
*As in many languages with a single liquid consonant, /l/ is quite variable in its possible realizations, but in a sort of "average" pronunciation it is realized as [l] word-initially, [ɺ] or [ɾ] intervocalically and after nasals, [ɹ] in codas, and [lː] when geminated.

Here's my own romanization of the language, for comparison:

/m n ɲ ŋ/ <m n ny ng>
/p t ts tɬ tʃ c k ʔ/ <p t ts tł ch ty k ‘> (/ʔ/ is not written word-initially, since as vowel-initial syllables are not permitted an orthographic initial vowel is understood to have a preceding glottal stop)
/ɸ s ɬ ʃ h/ <f s ł sh h>
/β ð l j ɰ w/ <b d l y g w>

/i ɯ u e ɤ o a/ <i ư u e ơ o a>

If a consonant represented by a digraph is geminated, only the first letter of the digraph is repeated.

As a minor note, I made kind of a bad choice of sample passage, since for morphophonological reasons that are a bit complicated to explain here [ɸɯkɯnimba] should probably be transcribed as having coda /n/ rather than coda /m/, thus <fưkưninba> in my romanization rather than <fưkưnimba>. Obviously there was no way for you guys to know that. Sorry.

What the butt, I should probably just go ahead and make a Luworese thread.

I'll actually romanize other people's stuff in my next post.

As your language appears to be Romance or something close to it judging from the sample, I gave it a mock-Romance orthography. I don't know the language's sound diachronics (in particular concerning the various sibilants), so I hope this doesn't look too weird.

/m n ɲ/ <m n gn>
/p b t̪ d̪ k g/ <p b t d c g> (/k g/ are <qu gu> before front vowels)
/f v s̠ z̠ s̪ z̪/ <f v x j s z>
/l r/ <l r>
/j/ <y> (<i> following a consonant)
/ts̠ dz̠/ <ci gi> (<c g> before front vowels)

/ɐ e ɪ o ʊ/ <a e i o u>
/a ε~æ e i ɔ~ɒ o u/ <a è e i ò o u>
/aː εː eː iː ɔː oː uː/ <á ê é í ô ó ú>
/æi̯ ɒʊ̯/ <ei ou>
Nasalization: <n> following the vowel

/av sɐ'luːt rɐgɐ's̪oːl/ <av salút ragasól>
/mε am ts̠aːm ɐ'lεːsjo e ɐ'jaːbɪt ɐteːz a mɔːdnɐ/ <mè am ciám alêsio e ayábit atéz a môdna>
/na t̪elevɪ'z̠jɒ̃ʊ̯̃/ <na televijioun>

I assumed the unmarked sibilants are dental and not postalveolar. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Also, I suspect the ideal orthography for this uses fewer vowel diacritics than I'm using here. Are stressed long vowels and stressed short vowels fully phonemically distinct? I don't see any stressed short vowels in this passage outside of monosyllables. Also, is there a "default" place for stress?

Yes, I made a mistake - also the syllables /ndrha5ɤf, ra3ɤ, trha3ɤm, prha7ɤ, ndra7ɯm/ all have illegal diphthongs (the second vowel in a diphthong can only be /ioue/). I used a word generator and intended to weed out the occasional illegal combination instead of writing very complex rules for the generator - obviously I didn't weed well.

Nice orthography though - I like nủf. The diacritic is cool

By the way, this kind of looks like an earlier build of Luworese, when it distinguished laminal from apical sibilants. Although Luworese never had a proper voicing distinction.

Went with a somewhat African approach to this one. I didn't get a strong indication from the passage whether the apical or laminal series is more marked, so I went with a rather non-comittal use of underdots for the apicals that you can transfer to the laminals if you prefer. I was originally going to go with a Basque-style use of <z> versus <s> to distinguish laminal and apical sibilants*, but that still left the apical and laminal stops to deal with, so I decided to just use the underdot consistently. You can also extend it to <n> in prenasalized apicals if you prefer. <v> for a vowel has some precedent in natlangs, but if you don't like that there are obviously plenty of other options for representing /ɯ/.

Here's the passage:

*If you're wondering, /s̻ s̺ ɕ z ʑ/ were going to be <z s x zz j>, with <z> always used over <zz> in affricates. A slight variant would have <ç> for /s̻/ and <z> for /z/.
