yeah, and everything else for it turns out ugly, probably because of the odd phoneme frequency.

[spats]

/ɲᶣ/ etc, are you sure palatals can be labio-palatalized?

The alternative would be /ɲʷ/, which might imply labio-velarization. If you're looking for something that is very definitely /ɲ/ + /y/, I don't see the problem with using /ɲᶣ/.

ŋʷ for example, is used for a labialized velar, so it would only make sense to me to use ɲᶣ to represent a labialized palatal.

Okay. There is ◌̫ (not to be confused with ◌̼) for labialization without velarization, but I've never seen anyone use it. :/

[Click]

So I have problems romanising this consonant inventory, preferably without digraphs indicating palatalisation/velarisation/labialisation.

/mʲ mˠ nʲ nˠ ŋ ŋʷ/
/pʲ pˠ tʲ tˠ k kʷ/
/rʲ rˠ/

The current romanisation is below.
/mʲ mˠ nʲ nˠ ŋ ŋʷ/ ‹j m y n k q›
/pʲ pˠ tʲ tˠ k kʷ/ ‹b p d t g c›
/rʲ rˠ/ ‹r l›

A sample sentence:

‹Jekati qi rede yaja pegi ki beta caje de mi.›
/mʲəkatˠɨ ŋʷɨ rʲətʲə nʲamʲa pˠəkʲɨ kɨ pʲətˠa kʷamʲə tʲə mˠi/

Carry the secondary articulation onto the vowel, as I see it, you have a vertical three vowel system.
Mekeaty ŋu rete neamea poki ku peta kame te my. Looks vaguely Polynesian...

[Haplogy]

Mekeaty ŋu rete neamea poki ku peta kame te my.

Aren't you effectively creating digraphs there? What with <neamea> /nʲamʲa/ and such?

Anyways, as to what I would do:
/mʲ mˠ nʲ nˠ ŋ ŋʷ/ <m◌́ m n◌́ n ŋ◌́ ŋ> or <m m◌̀ n n◌̀ ŋ ŋ◌̀>
/pʲ pˠ tʲ tˠ k kʷ/ <p◌́ p t◌́ t k◌́ k> or <p p◌̀ t t◌̀ k k◌̀>
/rʲ rˠ/ <r◌́ r> or <r r◌̀>

Which one, depends on which of the two is more common.

[Nortaneous]

I'm going to base this off my conlang Cherun and its inspiration Marshallese, since they have somewhat similar inventories. Cherun uses <my ny> instead of <m̃ ñ>, but Cherun avoids nonstandard characters entirely, whereas you don't want digraphs. It also uses <j> for the palatal stop and <g> for the velar nasal. Marshallese also uses <j> for /tʲ/, and it writes the rhotics the same way I have them there.

/mʲ mˠ nʲ nˠ ŋ ŋʷ/ <m/m̃ m n/ñ n g g/gw> -- use tildes and <w> only when necessary to disambiguate (that is, before <a>)
/pʲ pˠ tʲ tˠ k kʷ/ <p b j t k q>
/rʲ rˠ/ <r d>
/a ə ɨ/ <a e i> or <a o u> or <a e y> depending on the previous consonant: the first set if palatalized, the second set if labialized or velarized labial, the third set if velarized coronal or velar

/mʲəkatˠɨ ŋʷɨ rʲətʲə nʲamʲa pˠəkʲɨ kɨ pʲətˠa kʷamʲə tʲə mˠi/
Mekaty gu reje ñam̃a boki ky peta qame je mu.

You could replace <a o u> for velarized labials with <a o y> if they're not rounded in that context.

Also, you have /kʲ/ in your example sentence, but not in your inventory.

[sangi39]

I think Aiďos might be on to something there, but I wonder if using y differently might work better at stopping digraphs (and diacritics):

/m n ŋ/ ‹m m n n g g›
/p t k/ ‹p p t t k k›
/r/ ‹r r›

/(ʲ)ɨ/ vs /ˠ^/ʷɨ/ - <i> vs <u>
/(ʲ)ə/ vs /ˠ^/ʷə/ - <y> vs <o>
/(ʲ)a/ vs /ˠ^/ʷa/ - <e> vs <a>

OR

/(ʲ)ɨ/ vs /ˠ^/ʷɨ/ - <i> vs <y>
/(ʲ)ə/ vs /ˠ^/ʷə/ - <e> vs <u>
/(ʲ)a/ vs /ˠ^/ʷa/ - <a> vs <o>

OR

/(ʲ)ɨ/ vs /ˠ^/ʷɨ/ - <i> vs <u>
/(ʲ)ə/ vs /ˠ^/ʷə/ - <e> vs <y>
/(ʲ)a/ vs /ˠ^/ʷa/ - <a> vs <o>

/mʲəkatˠɨ ŋʷɨ rʲətʲə nʲamʲa pˠəkʲɨ kɨ pʲətˠa kʷamʲə tʲə mˠi/
<myketi gu ryty neme poki ki pyta kamy ty mu>
<mekati gy rete nama puki ki peto kome te my>
<mekati gu rete nama pyki ki peto kome te mu>

Or you could do:

/(ʲ)ɨ/ vs /ˠ^/ʷɨ/ - <i> vs <w>
/(ʲ)ə/ vs /ˠ^/ʷə/ - <e> vs <u>
/(ʲ)a/ vs /ˠ^/ʷa/ - <a> vs <o>

<mekati gw rete nama puki ki peto kome te mw>

I think that's the only way you could go with <w> except maybe:

/(ʲ)ɨ/ vs /ˠ^/ʷɨ/ - <y> vs <w>
/(ʲ)ə/ vs /ˠ^/ʷə/ - <i> vs <u>
/(ʲ)a/ vs /ˠ^/ʷa/ - <e> vs <a>

<mikety gw riti neme puky ky pita kami ti mw>

But that looks a tad messy.

It's hard to go creative if you don't tell us more about the phonology (syllable structure, if there's any phonemes that aren't allowed at the beginning/end of a syllable/word), and if you don't give a sample text to play with.

/ʀ/ and /j/ are the same consonant but after front and back vowels respectively

Then don't write them inside slashes. Use a single phoneme, say, /ʀ/, and then show [j] as an allophone in square brackets.

Mekeaty ŋu rete neamea poki ku peta kame te my.

Aren'y you effectively creating digraphs there? What with <neamea> /nʲamʲa/ and such?

Well, I am, but only for /ʲa/. Otherwise, every other secondary/vowel pair has its own letter: /ˠa ʲə ˠə ʲɨ ˠɨ/ a e o i y. You could use an a with some diacritic instead.

One of my languages, a Satheira descendant, Ceambrien, does something similar, only that there is contrastive palatalization and labialization, and a four vowel system. I get around it like this: /ʲaʲ ʲa ʲaʷ aʲ a aʷ ʷaʲ ʷa ʷaʷ/ eai ea eao ai a ao uai ua uao /ʲəʲ ʲə ʲəʷ əʲ ə əʷ ʷəʲ ʷə ʷəʷ/ iei ie ieo ei e eo uei ue ueo /ʲiʲ ʲi ʲiʷ iʲ i iʷ ʷiʲ ʷi ʷiʷ/ ij i io yi y yo uij ui uio /ʲuʲ ʲu ʲuʷ uʲ u uʷ ʷuʲ ʷu ʷuʷ/ eui eo eu oi o ou ui uo u. Also, since all consonant clusters assimilate in secondary articulation, the combinations with a final /ʲ ʷ/ are only necessary in the final syllable of a word.

Ah, right.
/ʀ/ [j]
/b/ [β]
/p/ [ɸ]

[r], [n]and [ɫ] possess an epenthetic and vocalic quality wherein they insert an epenthetic vowel between themselves and other consonants in clusters.(e.g. kln is kɫə̆n)

(fricative)(C)(liquid)(glide)V(C)(liquid)(nasal)(r) is a rough syllable thingydoodle (e.g. Shklyuklmr (ʂkɫju.kɫə̆.mə̆r))

Fricatives do not appear in clusters – they appear only initially and between vowels. The glottal fricative (h) appears only initially before vowels.

Vowels are lengthened prior to aspirated* or voiceless fricative consonants regardless of stress. Voiceless fricatives are germinate in initial position.

*word-finally voiced consonants are devoiced and voiceless consonants are aspirated (or, bilabially, fricativised)

/jaɪ jɛɪ/ <iai ièi>****
/waɪ wɛɪ/ <uai uèi>****
Are you sure about this vowel system? You have /jæ/ and /wæ/, but no /æ/.

*[ʀ] and [j] are the same consonant but after front and back vowels respectively (calling it /ɣ/ to be safe)
**second option before /i ɪ ʏ ɛ e y j/, first elsewhere
***Consonant is doubled when in intervocalic after /ɪ ʏ/.
****These diphthongs are spelled with <y> word-finally.
Medial <h> represents hiatus.

Crap! I completely forgot about /æ/. It's now just /a/.

I also forgot about /s/ and /z/ but now I look at it I suppose they're more allophones of the retroflex. But whatever. I'll re-include them just because my current orthography accommodates them.

and ɬ was a typo. Sorry everyone for all that nonsense.

Here's my current orthography

*As you can see there are a lot of exceptions-to-the-rules and ambiguity in it owing to having made this crap up over the course of a few years.

I might have another crack at it now -
