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.

Some Mazatecan-inspired thingy:

/pʰ p p' m̊ ˀm m ẘ w ˀw w̥̃ w̃ ˀw̃/ ph p p̛ mh m m̛ wh w w̛ vh v v̛
/tʰ t t' n̊ n ˀn sʰ s s'/ th t t' nh n n̛ sh s s̛
/kʰ k k' ŋ̊ ŋ ˀŋ xʰ x x' j̊ j ˀj j̃̊ j̃ ˀj̃/ kh k k̛ ŋh ŋ ŋ̛ xh x x̛ yh y y̛ jh j j̛
/ʔ h/ ̛ h

/i iː a aː/ i ii a aa
/ɨ ɨː ə əː/ ɨ ɨɨ e ee
/u uː ɒ ɒː/ u uu o oo

Oy,wVC

O is any consonant

C is any consonant aside from a glottalized or voiceless glide

Three tones; high (acute), mid, low (grave).

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

Teskwan (Jasul tăskoa)

Current romanization: (yes, I like this one, but I'm looking for something that might be a little better, but frankly, I'm not sure there IS something better, or more logical. Maybe using more than one vowel to indicate a labialized consonant or cluster instead of just <o>?)

/b̥ d̥ d̥ʷ ɡ̊ ɡ̊ʷ/ <b d d g g>
/pʰ tʰ tʷʰ kʰ kʷʰ/ <p t t k k>
/s sʷ x xʷ h/ <s s x x h>
m n nʷ ŋ ŋʷ/ <m n n ng ng>
/l ɾ j w/ <l r j/i w> (/j/ is written <j> initially and <i> in coda clusters)

/a e ə i ɨ u/ <a e ă i y u>

(consonants that are labialized are indicated by <C(C)oV> if it is initial and <Vo(C)C> if in the coda.)
ie. /kʷʰestʷʰun/ [kʷʰesʷtʷʰun] <koestoun>

Basic syllable structure is C[R]V[R]C, with R being a 'resonant'.

Allophony:

Consonant clusters must agree in labialization even across morpheme boundaries, so /ɾsʷ/ → /ʁʷsʷ/.
The consonants which cannot phonologically be labialized surface as: /b̥ʷ pʷʰ hʷ mʷ lʷ ɾʷ jʷ/ → [b̥͡β̥ʷ p͡ɸʷ ɸʷ mʷ ɫʷ ʁʷ ɥ]
Nasals assimilate to the POA of the following stop.
/h/ cannot appear in clusters, it becomes [x] or [xʷ].
/w/ does not occur in alone in codas, /w/ labializes consonants in coda clusters, ie /tʰawpʰ/ → /tapʷʰ/ [tap͡ɸʷ]

Example: (in this example, all the unvoiced superscript/subscript rings are not written)

(current orthography):
Puigărntyld palngkăl tylkyorgoyorngkougtil teipyoin bysbis. Bys dakkaxbtin kour gaikdal koioxkourn parbaln?
Koeorpdoaoltoyin kăoig taosdoeox koep părmkeit tuorntoaxgar. Tylteorgoep kuontoix doiontoiortoăl toăj koaimbelm daoltgoăl.

Yes, it's a literal cluster-f•ck.

Labialization is indicated by a grave accent on a following vowel, by an acute accent on a preceding vowel, or by a circumflex accent on a vowel that is both preceded and followed by labialized consonants. (This is modeled on Nort's romanization of Kannow.)
ie. /kʷʰestʷʰun/ [kʷʰesʷtʷʰun] kêstòn

hm, I missed this somehow

/p b t d k g/ <p b t d k g>
/f v s z ʂ ʐ ɕ ʑ h~x/ <f v s z sh zh x j h>
/m n ɳ ŋ/ <m n ny ng>
/l ɻ ʁ/ <l r gh>
/w j/ <w y>

The onset can be zero, any single of the above consonants, or a cluster up to CCC(j,w). Permissible cluster types, exemplified with dental consonants plus /h j/, are the following: /ts(j) nts(j) tl ntl dz(j) ndz(j) dl ndl ht(j) hts(j) htl hl hn nt(j) nd(j) ns(j) nj st sj zj/. Non-homoorganic clusters of the type /kt(j) kts(j) ktl gd(j) gdz(j) gdl/ also occur.

Rime:

/i e a o u/ <i e a o u>
/ie ea ei ai au ou oa uo/ <ie ea ei ai au ou oa uo>

+ three tones: high/mid/low (only distinctive on word-final syllables) <á a à>
