The reverse of the Romanization Challenge Thread
You post a romanization, cyrillization, etc. and then you figure out a phonology for it.
Now to start

Hello there. Chirp chirp chirp.

Since the previous poster didn't include another romanisation, I figure that I'll give this a go.

That was quite a large orthography. Here's the next one:

It being an alien language isn't so much of an excuse for it being big, unless you can prove that it absolutely needs to be that big. I've created an alien race, the Tá-Sīsī, that only has a five-letter romanisation for all possible sounds that they can make (ignoring tone, which the language makes extensive use of). I limited myself to six sounds for these aliens, [t s j a s̩ i]. No, I did not have the vast quantities of everything that kitchen sink conlangs have, but by placing limits on yourself, such as I did with these aliens' anatomy, I was able to make a much more interesting (and also more realistic, one might argue) language.

if you're basing this on the other thread, it's still good practice to include a sample of the language, rather than just an alphabet.

/a ɛ œ e ø i y ɑ ʌ ɔ ɤ o ɯ u/ a æ œ e ø i y å ė o ơ ů ư u
ň has merged in pronunciation with ń; ņ has merged in pronunciation with ñ.

Macrons indicate length, diereses indicates breathy voice, underdots indicate stiff voice, tildes indicate creaky voice.
