contrastive stress is marked with an acute accent, final devoicing is ignored in spelling, as is the /e i/ and /a o/ merger in unstressed syllables. Palatalisation is marked with an <i> following the (string of) consonant(s) that is palatalised (are there situations in which palatalisation is different in consonants in the same sequence?), unless an <i> follows, in which case palatalisation is marked with <j>.

I guess I'll randomly add vowels in my text to fix that. (I don't know how to put vowel into M-Egyptian texts, so this isn't realistic)

Many vowels in ME can't be reconstructed with much certainty, since the writing system only recorded consonants. Working back from Coptic and comparing transcriptions of Egyptian proper names into other languages yields some results, but a full reconstruction of the vowels in each word hasn't been done yet (and in many cases can't be done yet). So Egyptological literature usually just ignores the vowels entirely, and it's difficult to find any text that actually gives them. Hence I was forced to leave them out here, not having any sample text that tried to reconstruct them. (The text here is from the Sehetepibre Stela, but if anyone has some text with vowels inserted, feel free to replace it.)

Start working on some mergers man!

Part of the fun of this conlang is its large consonant inventory (71). Ubykh had 84 consonants; and I'd say that even Abkhaz with "only" 58 is actually more complex than what I have - it has more contrasts. I just have more labialized consonants.
Thanks again!

I'm looking for a better romanization for Sažir:

/m n ɳ ŋ/
/p t ʈ͡ʂ k q/
/b d ɖ͡ʐ g ɢ/
/ɸ θ s ʂ x/
/β ð z ʐ ɣ ʁ/
/l r ʀ/
/a e ɛ i (ɪ) o ɔ u (ʊ)/
/ai ou au/

Onsets: C, unvoiced plosive + s, plosive + rhotic
Rimes: V(C), Vlθ, Vrθ, Vʀθ, ou, au(C), ai(C) — V excludes diphthongs
Nasals assimilate to following consonants' POA. /a/ becomes [ɜ] word-finally, /r/ becomes [ɻ] by retroflex consonants, /ʁ/ becomes [χ] in unvoiced clusters. /ai ou au/ contrast with /a.i o.u a.u/. Stress is not contrastive.
/ɪ ʊ/ exist in some dialects, but are merged with /i u/ in others.

(Not a very interesting phonology, but then this was a very old conlang.)

Example text:
