Romanization challenge thread

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

assuming that [ʎ] is an allophone of /l/, the accented letters are just orthographic variants of the originals, and the "v" in the sample text is /ʋ/:

verson 1
/p b t d k g/ <p b t d k g>
/ts dz tʃ dʒ/ <c j č ǰ>
/f s z ʃ ʒ x~h/ <f s z š ž h>

/f s z ʃ ʒ x~h/ <f s z ch j h
/ʋ l (ʎ) r j/ <v/u l ll r y
/a ɛ ə ɔ e o i u/ <au e è o ei ou i u>

<c g> are /k g/ before a back vowel, /tʃ dʒ/ before a front; /k g/ are written <qu gu> before front vowels and /tʃ dʒ/ are written <ci gi> before back vowels. If /kv gv/ ever occur (they don't in the sample text), they're spelled <qu gu> before back vowels and <qü gü> before front vowels. <è> qualifies as a "front vowel" for these purposes

Have I posted Vian here yet? Now that I have a few sentences for it...

/p b t d ts dz ʈ~tʂ ɖ~dʐ tɕ dʑ k g/
/ⁿb~m ⁿd~n ⁿdʑ~ɲ/
/f s ʂ ɕ x/
/w l j/
/a ɒ e ə o i u ɿ ʮ/
/aɴ ɒɴ eɴ əɴ oɴ iɴ uɴ/
/m̩ n̩ ɲ̩ ŋ̩/
Four tones: /à ā á â/

(ɴ = nasalization -- it's written this way to avoid conflict with the tone diacritics)

/ɿ ʮ/ are fricated vowels: [z̩ v̩]. Their realization varies: /ɿ/ can be any coronal fricative: it is usually apical, intermediate between [z̩] and [ʐ̩], but matches the POA of a preceding coronal consonant.

Front vowels are restricted in distribution: /a/ cannot appear after labials, /e/ cannot appear after retroflexes or velars, and /i/ cannot appear after any plosives but labial or palatal ones -- however, /nĩ ɲĩ/ contrast. /l/ cannot appear before nasal vowels. /ⁿd/ is [ⁿdz] before /ɿ/, and /t d/ cannot appear before /ɿ/.

The syllable structure is CV, but fricated vowels and syllabic nasals can appear without a preceding consonant: /ɿ ʮ/ with no preceding consonant are [zɿ vʮ].

Consonants in the nasal series are realized as prenasalized stops before oral vowels and nasals before nasal vowels: /ma maɴ/ are [ⁿba maɴ].

/aɴ ɒɴ eɴ əɴ oɴ iɴ uɴ/ <an...>
/m̩ n̩ ɲ̩ ŋ̩/ <m n ny ng>
Four tones: /à ā á â/
1) i- > y- or add -r, or basic form for sonorant/nasal
2) Insert <h> after sonorant/nasal, otherwise basic form.
3) -i/i- -u/u- > e o or double vowel
4) -i -u -> -y -w or add -h

/m̩ n̩ ɲ̩ ŋ̩/ <m n ny ng>
Four tones: /à ā á â/ <à ā á a>

Glides before nonhigh vowels are unwritten. (Two of the singular pronouns are /wɒ/, so this is a good idea.) -ng is unwritten after nasals. Clitics are appended to the word.

/dâtâ wū tɕì jé kùɴ ʈàɴ ⁿdʑɿ̄. wɒ̀ kə̀ fʮ̂ tsɿ̀ jē ⁿdà. wɒ̀ tɕî wɒ̄ kə́ jē ⁿbɒ́ wɒ̄ mɒ̄ɴ. lū wɒ̄ tsɿ̀ kʮ̂ mɒ̄ɴ/

Following Standard Zhuang 1982 + Hmong + Random stuff from my brain:

/p b t d ts dz ʈ~tʂ ɖ~dʐ tɕ dʑ k g/ <p b t d ts dz tr dr c j k g>
/ⁿb~m ⁿd~n ⁿdʑ~ɲ/ <m n ny>
/f s ʂ ɕ x/ <f s sh x h>
/w l j/ <v l y>
/a ɒ e ə o i u ɿ ʮ/ <a ae e er o i u oe w>
/aɴ ɒɴ eɴ əɴ oɴ iɴ uɴ/ <an aen en ern on in un>
/m̩ n̩ ɲ̩ ŋ̩/ <m n ny ng>
Four tones: /à ā á â/ <-z -h -0 -x>

/dâtâ wū tɕì jé kùɴ ʈàɴ ⁿdʑɿ̄. wɒ̀ kə̀ fʮ̂ tsɿ̀ jē ⁿdà. wɒ̀ tɕî wɒ̄ kə́ jē ⁿbɒ́ wɒ̄ mɒ̄ɴ. lū wɒ̄ tsɿ̀ kʮ̂ mɒ̄ɴ/
Daxtax vuh ciz ye traz nyoeh. Vaez kerz fwx tsoez yeh naz. Vaez cix vah ker yeh mae vaeh maenh. Luh vaeh tsoez kwx maenh.

Same, but with 1957 tone characters:
/à ā á â/ <-ƨ -ƅ -0 -ч>

Daчtaч vuƅ ciƨ ye traƨ nyoeƅ. Vaeƨ kerƨ fwч tsoeƨ yeƅ naƨ. Vaeƨ ciч vaƅ ker yeƅ mae vaeƅ maenƅ. Luƅ vaeƅ tsoeƨ kwч maenƅ.
