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.

Yeah, Catalan orthography is just complicated enough to not work well here without going through all the digraphs.

Can it be made to look like something other than Czech?

Czech as Arve, not particularly systematically but assuming silent non-overlong e:

Vessticheni lidärg sä rodgie sessvobodgenie a soberg rounie zo do dulsetürnosetki a peranve. Surg nadarni rosumäm a severdomiem a majirg sepolu erdenat ve duchu berateresetöy.

No, that doesn't work at all.

(Arve is an old conlang of mine that simplified all its consonant clusters, and developed overlong vowels from vowels in front of clusters with a resonant as the first element, which then diphthongized.)

As Romanian, sort of

/p b t d k g/ <p b t d c(h) g(h)>
/m n ɲ/ <m n n(i)>
/f v s z h*/ <f v s z h>
/ts dz tʃ dʒ/ <ț dz c(i) g(i)>
/r l ʎ/ <r l li>

/a ã ɛ e ẽ i ĩ y ỹ ə ɔ õ u/ <a an ê e en i in ui uin ă o on u>
/aw oj ow ew~øw ẽj õj/ <au oi ou eu ein oin>
/je ɥi we~wø jẽ ɥĩ wẽ/ <ie ui ue ien uin uen>
/e̯aw jew wew/ <eau ieu ueu>

Carles li Reis nostră empereră manies,
sêt anț tuț pleins ad êstet en Espainiă:
trêschen la mer cunchist la teră altainiă.

Ni ad kastêl chi devan lui rêmainiă;
mur ne țitêt ni est rêmes a fraindră
fors Saraguță, chi est en ună muntainiă.

Li reis Marsiliă la tien, chi deu nen amêt,
Mahumet sert e Apollin rêcleimêt:
nes poêt garder che mals ne li ateiniêt.
Siöö jandeng raiglin zåbei tandiüłåd;
nää džunnfin kukuch vklaivei sivei tåd.
Chei. Chei. Chei. Chei. Chei. Chei. Chei.

As Welsh, with adaptations:

/p b t d k g/ <p b t d c g>
/m n ɲ/ <m n ng>
/f v s z h*/ <ff f s z h>
/ts dz tʃ dʒ/ <ts dz tll dll>
/r l ʎ/ <r l ll> (geminate /l/ with a flown dot as in Catalan, thanks Bristel)

/a ã ɛ e ẽ i ĩ y ỹ ə ɔ õ u/ <a an e ê en i in u un y o on w>
/aj aw oj ow ew~øw ẽj õj/ <ae aw oe ou iu ein oen>
/je ɥi we~wø jẽ ɥĩ wẽ/ <ie ue we ien uen wen>
/e̯aw jew wew/ <eaw iew wew>

Carlês li reis nostry empêrêry mangês
Set ants twts pleins ad estêt en Espaengy
tresc'en la mer kwnkist la têry altaengy.

Ni ad castel ci defan lue remaengy;
Mur nê tsitet ni êst remês a fraendry
Ffors Saragwtsy, ci êst ên wny mwntaengy.

Li reis Marsilly la tllien, ci Dew nen amet,
Mahwmêt sêrt ê Apol·lin recleimet:
Nês poët gardêr kê mals nê li ateinget.
