Both variants look quite appealing. I think I will choose a mix of those two romanizations. Thanks for the effort.

Pamplonés (Pamplonese in English):
/p b t d t͡ʃ k ɡ/
/m n ɲ/
/r/
/ɾ/
/f s z ʃ x/
/w j/
/l ʎ/

/i u e o ɛ ɔ ä/

There are three major dialect groups: Spanish, Basque and Portuguese (in order of their population). In the Spanish and Portuguese, /j/ is /ʒ/. In Basque, it merges with /x/. /ʎ/ is also pronounced /ʒ/ in Spanish dialects, but not in Basque or Portuguese. Also, /x/ is silent for some speakers of Portuguese dialects. In southern dialects (Spanish and most Basque dialects), /b d ɡ/ become [β ð ɣ] in all places except after a pause, after a nasal consonant, or—in the case of /d/—after a lateral consonant. /ɛ ɔ/ only contrast with /e o/ in stressed syllables in the Portuguese dialects. In other dialects, there is no phonemic distinction between these sets at all.
Go here for the romanisation I used.

Telamkal (see this post) now has a Cyrillic script. This is for the convenience of another person I'm working with (and the Latin was for my own). The actual peoples are illiterate:

/i u e o ə ä~ɑ~ɒ ji ju je jo jä wi wə/ <і у э о ӗ а а́ а́ ї ю ё я ԝї ԝё>

I think this is my first ever agefaqeg-style cyrillisation of another language:

/m n/ <м н>
/s ʃ x/ <с ш кг>
/w j/ <у́ р>

/i u e o ə ä/ <и у е о е̌ ѐ>

Latin: Namakpulankamu pamveh.
Romanised agefaqeg-style: nèmèkpulènkèmu pèmweh.
Cyrillic: Нама́кпула́нкаму памԝэx.
Cyrillised agefaqeg-style: нѐмѐкпулѐнкѐму пѐму́екг.

Another language of my as of yet-unnamed family that is more of a really big dialect continuum:

/p t tʃ k ʔ/
/s~ʃ x h/
/w~m ɾ~n j~ɲ ɰ~ŋ/

/i ε a u/
/i: ε: a: u:/
/ĩ ε̃ ã ũ/
/ĩ: ε̃: ã: ũ:/

Plosives are usually voiceless and unaspirated, though intevocalically before a long vowel and especially between two long vowels they can be weakly to moderately voiced. /s/ palatalises to /ʃ/ in any consonant cluster, before /i/ and word-finally, it is also usually partially voiced intevocalically unless palatalised. Maximum allowed syllable structure is (C)V(C), with plosives not being in codas outside of loanwords. Nasal consonants exist only as allophones of sonorants before nasal vowels, and nasality doesn't spread.

Sample text:
/i:wãɾε̃ɰεjsa: i:wãɾε̃ɰεjsa: wε̃ɾĩ: ɾĩsεɾεi wi: jã:wεɾu:siɾεhatawitεpa: ɰa:xatʃε̃jε̃siɾε̃ xatu wikε̃:ʔa/

A new sketch (let's call it Weekendlang):

/m n ɲ ŋ/
/b d dz~z ɡ/
/(p) t ts k/
/v s h/
/w j/


The only permitted consonant clusters are wC, jC and NC (not necessarily homo-organic — there is no POA assimilation!).
The opposition between /ns/ and /nts/ is neutralized. Also, /p/ occurs only in Np clusters (forming a complementary distribution with /h/).

/iː uː/
/ɪɛ ɨə/
/eː oː/
/ɜ ə ʌ/
/aː ɑ/


Short vowels (/ɪɛ ɨə ɜ ə ʌ ɑ/) occur only in short syllables. (In stressed words, there's at least one long vowel — the last one takes the primary stress.)
/ə/ occurs only word-finally or in triphthongs /a:jə aːwə/.
Also, /ɪɛ ɨə ɜ ʌ ɑ/ tend to co-occur/alternate with /aː iː eː uː oː/ respectively. (But that should not necessarily be reflected in the orthography.)

(I'd ask about the main inspiration, but it'd be too easy.)

Sample text:
/ɑwkoːhʌmbʌ ɲiːɲmə hɑwuːŋ || ɲiːɲtə ʌnduːhɜn || weːs ɜŋgɜnuːtɨə siːŋtɨə ɑmboːŋgɑt || viː ɜndeːndoːm tsiːŋ boːw koːhɑhɑw kaːn || muːŋ muːbɨəm ɲiːh haːŋ hiːŋmə || viː ɪɛndaːnmə teːmŋə/

And now for something completely different: another screwed-up descendant of English, but this time it's British!

s ɕ ʂ
t͡ɕʰ~ɕ t͡ɕ
m n̪~ð̃ n ŋ

Aspirated consonants may be lenited intervocalically; the relative frequencies of this process for each consonant may be arranged into a scale from the most to the least frequently lenited: /t̪ʰ/>/tʰ/>/t͡ɕʰ/>/kʰ/>/pʰ/. Standard news anchor pronunciation involves leniting only the coronal aspirates.

Sonorants and aspirated plosives are restricted to onsets.

Consonant clusters are less frequent and convoluted than the ones in modern RP English, but are still prevalent.

i y e ø ɛ a ɔ ɤ o ɯ u

All vowels can be long with no change in quality. Long vowels are only ever found in closed syllables.

/p t k q/
/f s x χ/
/v d g ɢ/
/l r/
/j ɥ w/

/i y (ɯ) u/
/e ø ɤ o/
/æ ɑ/
And numerous diphthongs made from these vowels

Syllables are (C)V(C). Glides cannot end a syllable, /d g ɢ/ cannot begin a word, and only /m n p t k q s l r/ can end a word. Of the diphthongs, most can only occur in open syllables.
[ɯ] only occurs immediately adjacent to uvular consonants. Front vowels do not occur in this environment. Thus, [ɯ] can be treated as an allophone of /i/, but only if underlying front vowels adjacent to uvulars are posited.
/d g ɢ/ are realized as stops when geminated, after nasal, and after /v s/; elsewhere they are realized as fricatives [ð ɣ ʁ].
/t s d/ palatalize to [tʃ ʃ ʒ] before /i y j ɥ/; [dʒ] occurs in the same environments as voiced stop phones.
Non-open vowels become lax (more open and more centralized) in syllables ending in obstruents and /r/. All vowels become nasal but remain tense before nasal consonants.
All non-nasal consonants (including the liquids) assimilate in voicing to a following non-glide consonant. Voiceless stops and non-sibilant fricatives merge into their voiced obstruent counterparts when voiced while /s/ simply voices to [z].
