Reverse 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.

A few mergers have taken place. The orthography distinguishes a few allophones and has a number of letters for particular consonant or CV clusters.

Sample text: [ʔajloː hʉsenːaʁʷ tulqiðy] 7aļō hůsen'aŕ tułqiđü

(C'mon, I gave it a try.)

Now create a phoneme inventory for this Romanization:

I like how you gave some letters use as consonant clusters, as well as using the breves in loan words. I will use the clusters initially.

Re: Reverse Romanization Challenge Thread

I started making something for the alphabet in OP, but didn't finish it until now. Sorry for the x-sampa; I'm at work. I have tried to make a table that shows all the vowel letters and sounds. There are nine types:

1: Mid tone, short.
2: High tone, long.
3: Low tone, long.
4: Formerly high tone with pharyngeal coda.
5: Formerly low tone with pharyngeal coda.
6: High tone, short.
7: Low tone, short.
8: Diphthong.
9: Nasalized.

Some vowels are repeated due to mergers. Gaps in the table are due to the given vowel never existing in the first place.

Code: Select all

1  2   3   4  5  6  7  8    9

a  ā   ä   ơ  ợ  â  ạ  æ 
a3 a5: a1: V3 V1 a5 a1 aI32

e  ē   ë   ơ  ợ  ê  ẹ  œ 
e3 e5: e1: V3 V1 e5 e1 eI32

y  ī   ï   ư  ự  î  ị 
i3 i5: i1: M3 M1 i5 i1

o  ō   ö         ô  ọ  ė
o3 o5: o1:       o5 o1 e:32

u  ū   ü         û  ụ  i
u3 u5: u1:       u5 u1 i:32

   ø   ÿ   ơ  ợ  ø  ÿ  œ    õ 
   @5  @1: V3 V1 @5 @1:eI32 @~:1
More explanations:
Originally there were three tones for short vowels, and two for long ones. Low tone is found before a former or still existing voiced consonant, and high tone before unvoiced.
/V/ and /M/ arose from the combination of a vowel + some pharyngeal consonant. The pharyngeal consonant pulled the front vowels back, then the rounded back vowels merged with the unrounded ones. The pharyngeal also pulled down the high tone into middle. Then the pharyngeal consonant disappeared.
There were diphthongs ending with /I/, but this pulled the back vowels to the front, creating /e:/ and /i:/. These are distinguished from the original /e:, i:/ because they have kept their falling tone, which only diphthongs had.
The schwa only appears in certain environments. It only distinguishes two tones. Maybe the middle toned schwa elided. Some schwas merged so that high tone is only found on the short ones, and low tone on the long ones. /@n/ has turned into a nasalized vowel. Since /n/ is voiced, only low tone could be possible for /@~:/.

/m n n_j J/ <m n ń ñ>
/p b t d cC J\j\ k g q ?/ <p b t d ć j k g q '>
/ts dz tS/ <c ż č>
/f v s z s_j z_j S Z s`~z` C h/ <f v s z ś ź š ž ß ç h>
/4/ <r>
/l l_j j w/ <l ł y w>
[s`] and [z`] could be said to be in complementary distribution, [s`] only appearing after high tone vowels and [z`] after low tone.

Some random text examples:

Yeah cmon Birdlang, not all languages can be Ubykh/Nuxalk/Vietnamese mashups. Just saying. A small selection of graphemes or a moderate-sized selection with an interesting twist would make just as interesting a challenge.

[ɬ l ɾ]

Okay, I'll provide a sample of it, with (C)V(C) syllable structure:

<kēcỻuỻiram walkūǥi ēje ꝛa wōhe> [kɛi̯cluliðəm vəlkyʁɪ ɛi̯d͡ze lə voɦe]

New grapheme list, with a sample:

<kataksu asitikara ksunana arara utuna ka atarasu>
