A helllang I am working on. I have most of the orthography figured out, but I need a good way to write tone.

/p t k pʰ tʰ kʰ/
/l m n r j w/
/s sʰ h [ç]/
+length, including initially
/a e i ɔ u ɛ œ y/
/˨ ˦ ˩˧ ˨˦ ˥˧/ (i.e. 2 4 13 24 53 or thereabouts)

Syllable structure is maximally CRVCs at least, but hasn't been very clearly defined yet.

I know Nort some people like tone letters, and this is actually potentially feasible—while as yet each word has tone, the only apparent contrastive tone has been on the inflections of the article (and possibly on adjectives), where the only final that shows up is /n/. So it'd be possible to have tone letters and just not mark tone the rest of the time.

/ɛ œ y/ are umlaut of /a ɔ u/. /sʰ/ has converged to /s/ word-finally.

Here is a sample:
/tœ˨ pɔle˦markʰs tœ˨ pi˦ tɔ˩˧ Pjukrɔ˥˧ts ɔ˥˧rkʰɔn tɔ˩˧ Pʰilɔ˥˧mels Pʰi˩˧lɔn, tɔ˩˧ Kɛpʰisʰɔ˥˧sɔrs Sɔnjy˨˦s Tʰanɔ˥˧sɔrs Hi˥˧p:ɔn na˥˧rɛpsan t:ʰɔ˥˧ pœwe˨˦sʰantʰ ta˨n pɔ˥˧sœs tɔ˩˧n sa˥˧nejɔn tɔ˩˧n Nikre˥˧t ka˦t tɔ˦ s:ʰɛ˨˦pʰim tɔ˩˧ sa˨˦m./

helllang

What's that?

/p t k pʰ tʰ kʰ/ b d g p t k
/l m n r j w/ l m n r j w
/s sʰ h [ç]/ z s h hj, although final merged [s] is written s (also, what's the conditioning environment for [ç]?)
length = doubling
/a e i ɔ u ɛ œ y/ a e i o u ä ö ü
/˨ ˦ ˩˧ ˨˦ ˥˧/ (i.e. 2 4 13 24 53 or thereabouts) f v c x q syllable-finally (or some set of four of those with no letter representing the default or least marked tone)

Helllang = Greek-derived language. This one is from the Boeotian dialect.

[ç] is /hj/, sorry. I'm not sure if it'll be a separate phoneme yet honestly but I'll just write it as ψη or something if it is. The article is ta/to/tœ/tɛ.

I was going to post my romanization but I got tired and went to sleep, so here it is:

/p t k pʰ tʰ kʰ/ <π τ κ φ θ ψ> (the epichoric alphabet has ψ instead of χ)
/l m n r j w/ <λ μ ν ρ ι ϝ>
/s sʰ h [ç]/ <σ ση η ηι>
+length, including initially: gemination, except aspirates have <πφ τθ κψ>
/a e i ɔ u ɛ œ y/ <α ε ι ο υ αε οε υε>
/˨ ˦ ˩˧ ˨˦ ˥˧/ (i.e. 2 4 13 24 53 or thereabouts) <?>

/ks/ is <χ>. /ps/ is <φσ>.

There is only one /m/ phoneme in Mountain Arapesh, and Ibara is a proper name (information from http://www-01.sil.org/pacific/png/pubs/ ... ukiyip.pdf):

Don't trust the phoneme inventory that is given for languages in all cases. E.g. in this case the inventory given at the start has no labialized consonants, but the example which is quoted here clearly does have labialized consonants.

[Benturi]

(I think this thread is also the right place for this kind of questions)
If you wanted to represent a non-rhotic voiced uvular phoneme (fricative with a stop allophone or viceversa) and the glottal stop with the letters <c> and <x>, which letter would you use for which phoneme? I know Pirahã uses <x> for /ʔ/ and I think I've seen it used for /ʁ/ too, but I don't think I've seen <c> used for neither of those sounds.

(I think this thread is also the right place for this kind of questions)
If you wanted to represent a non-rhotic voiced uvular phoneme (fricative with a stop allophone or viceversa) and the glottal stop with the letters <c> and <x>, which letter would you use for which phoneme? I know Pirahã uses <x> for /ʔ/ and I think I've seen it used for /ʁ/ too, but I don't think I've seen <c> used for neither of those sounds.

There's no way answering your question without knowing the rest of your phoneme inventory and the romanization you intend to use.

/ʔ ʁ/ <c x>

<c> is used in some languages of Papua-New Guinea for the glottal stop, so you'll have a natlang precedent.

Do you use <q> for anything? If not, it may be a reasonable choice. Or if you don't use <g>, you may try that.

Make it an unwritten language. Problem solved.

@Opipik: Thanks! A suggestion based on natlang precedents and/or aesthetic preference is what I was hoping for.
@WeepingElf: It's not for one single conlang, all of them have /q/ and either there's /g/ or I'm using <g> for something else. But I'm curious: assuming you wanted to use <c> and <x> for /ʔ/ and /ɢ~ʁ/, would your choice be different if the phoneme inventory is something like /m n b t d k g q ɢ~ʁ ʔ s h l i a u/ than if it's something like Kwak'wala or smth like Southern Qiang + /ʔ/?
@Pole: Why didn't I think of that before

Brand new language (for dragons)

/t ts tʃ tɕ k q ʔ/
/t' ts' tʃ' tɕ' k' q'/
/θ s ʃ ɕ x χ h/
/l ɹ j ɰ/
/n/

/i i: ɯ ɯ:/
/e e: ə ɤ ɤ:/
/ɑ ɑ:/

I really need a good ASCII romanisation of this, and would also like one without digraphs.
Edit: pls no mixed caps.

[Pole, the]

Got it!

/t ts tʃ tɕ k q ʔ/ «t c C j k q '»
/t' ts' tʃ' tɕ' k' q'/ «d z Z J g Q»
/θ s ʃ ɕ x χ h/ «f s S X x H h»
/l ɹ j ɰ/ «l r y w»
/n/ «n»

/i i: ɯ ɯ:/ «i I u U»
/e e: ə ɤ ɤ:/ «e E v o O»
/ɑ ɑ:/ «a A»

*cri* I edited my post.

/t ts tʃ tɕ k q ʔ/ <d z c g k q 7>
/t' ts' tʃ' tɕ' k' q'/ <5 2 4 6 % !>
/θ s ʃ ɕ x χ h/ <t s $ ~ x & h>
/l ɹ j ɰ/ <l r j w>
/n/ <n>

/i i: ɯ ɯ:/ <i 1 u 9>
/e e: ə ɤ ɤ:/ <e 3 y o 0>
/ɑ ɑ:/ <a @>

There you go, all ASCII with no digraphs and no caps.

Seriously, though:

/t ts tʃ tɕ k q ʔ/ <d c cj kj k q '>
/t' ts' tʃ' tɕ' k' q'/ <d' c' cj' kj' k' q'>
/θ s ʃ ɕ x χ h/ <t s sj xj x g h>
/l ɹ j ɰ/ <l r y w>
/n/ <n>

/i i: ɯ ɯ:/ <i ii u uu>
/e e: ə ɤ ɤ:/ <e ee v o oo>
/ɑ ɑ:/ <a aa>
