/m n ɲ ŋ ŋʷ/

Phonotactics: (n)(s|ʃ)(C(A|ə))CV(V)(ʔ)
(n) means a nasal that assimilates in place to the following consonant unless it's glottal. This will voice following plosives.
(C(A|ə)) means: a consonant followed either by an approximant (which then becomes syllabic) or a noncontrastive schwa. You can't have two approximants in a row.
V(V) means: either a long vowel or /i u/ followed by a vowel. They're analyzed as /i u/ because they're moraic, and each mora can bear a tone. (high or low)

There are also unstressed words, which are Cə(ʔ) and toneless. The schwa may be oral or nasal.

/h/ devoices prenasalized consonants: nda ndka nta /na ntka ntha/ [nda ndəka nt(ʰ)a].
Nasals are realized as prenasalized voiced plosives before oral vowels.

I think the IPA is the best transcription for that language. Coz the only people that learn it are linguists (that know the IPA) and people marrying into the community (who'll pick it up by speech anyway). Everyone in Chechnya speaks Russian already and I don't accept the argument of Selivanov et al., viz. that Russian is harder to learn than Chechene.

Well, what we are doing here is just that we pose challenges to each other for fun. Of course, Chechen has an established orthography, based on the Cyrillic alphabet, and the Chechen romanizations posted here are without practical value.

Sorry for the delay as I have plenty stuff to do.

Nisha historically had many consonant clusters just as Latin had, since it is basically a rip-off. Since the beginning of development many consonant clusters disappeared by inserting vowels and in the latest and current stage palatalization set in in order to get the typical CVCVC behaviour. Palatalization is fairly common when /n/ appears before another consonant, i.e. /mundus/ > /mʲud/

So...wait, I'm not sure I understand. /nC/ clusters become /C/ with palatalization of the onset of the preceding syllable? I must admit I don't entirely get how that works. There doesn't seem to be any articulatory or acoustic motivation for the change.

Yes, that's exactly how it works. As said, I had to get rid of those /nC/ clusters and couldn't find any other way. The remaining Latin consonant clusters still puzzle me and I find a way out by simply removing them or introducing the glottal stop. They seem to be quite weird sound changes but there were many other before in natural languages which seemed quite unexplainable...

I never had the need to palatalize voiced consonants

What does that mean? Why wouldn't, say, /dens/ generate [dʲæs]?

Voiced consonants will mostly delete the preceding /n/ without any effect on the next one. Occasionally, /n/ is used as the final consonant, especially when it's the last one before the noun ending. And then only internal vowel changes will happen. So /dens/ will result in /din/.

As promised before, I present you my writing system. It's based on the Semitic alphabet and inspired by Japenese by some kind.





However, I still thank you for your ideas and I already implemented them in my Romanization.
