The orthography of your language is rather weird. Do you (lit.) have a need for such a thing?

Hmm... I chose what was most readable to me.

The language has no voicing distinction, if that’s what makes it look weird to you; perhaps showing the phonemic representation might make things clearer:

‹Muufsug ńâpot êmêk tam, fouš sfapapziik. Κ mikzimik feetihejik hešmi.›
/muuɸsuŋ ɲɶpot ømøk tam, ɸouç sɸapapθiik yç mikθimik ɸeetixejik xeçmi/

But in any case, that is the romanization, not the orthography! The orthography is this:

"The Sheep and the Horses"
A sheep that had no wool • saw horses, • one pulling a heavy wagon, • one carrying a big load, • and one carrying a man quickly. • The sheep said to the horses: • “My heart pains me, • seeing a man driving horses”. • The horses said: “Listen, sheep, • our hearts pain us when we see this: • a man, the master, makes the wool of the sheep • into a warm garment for himself. • And the sheep has no wool”. • Having heard this, the sheep fled into the plain.
