Here is my romanization of Hungarian. It's not too different from Esmelthien's one, but it uses carons for palatals to fit in better with the nearby Slavic languages.

Turkish:

/m n/
/p b t d tʃ dʒ (c) (ɟ) k g/
/f v s z ʃ ʒ h/
/w* (l) ɫ j r/
/i y ɯ u e ø a o/
*w is how i transcribed ‹ğ›.

/c ɟ l/ are generally allophones of /k g ɫ/ after front vowels, but they can occur before back vowels in borrowings.

/i y ɯ u e ø a o/ <i/ı u̇/u î/ı û/u ȧ/a ȯ/o â/a ô/o>
When a vowel has a diacritic stating whether it's front or back, all following vowels until the end of the word will also be front/back. If the vowel harmony shifts in the middle of a word, in some names, for example, another diacritic is used to reflect this shift. E.g. /muvaffacijetsizleʃtirid͡ʒileʃtiriveremejebiled͡ʒeklerimizdenmiʃsinizd͡ʒesine/ <mûvaffakiyatsızlachtırıjılachtırıvaramayajaklarımızdanmıchsınızjasına>

Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. So study hard and be evil!

/f f̃ s s̃/
/v ṽ z z̃ ɣ ɣʷ/
/r r̃/
/j̊ j̊̃ w̥ w̥̃ h h̃/
/l j w/

/i ɪ e a u ʊ o ɔ/

Sorry, no sample.
(C)V (optional consonant, vowel) or N (a syllabic nasal).

/i ɪ e a u ʊ o ɔ/ <i ị e a u ụ o ọ>
tones: high and low, "downstepped high tone" - <á a à>
Syllabic nasal(s(?)) - <ẹ ạ> for syllabic /n m/ respectively.
You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.
Just one time.
