Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
That's gotta be a Samoyedic language. Am I right?
Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
Nah, Samoyedic langs mostly do not have spirant consonants other than /x/, and I see quite a few /f v z ɣ/ in there. All the spiritus asper at least suggests something Caucasian, and the lack of /q/ could be used to narrow it down further. Avar, perhaps?

The half-ring rather points to Afro-Asiatic. Semitic?

Some kind of Berber?
Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
Looks like Tamazigh to me. The western dialect, specifically.

No to all.
The transcription used is probably specific to the paper/author I pulled the text from. If the language has a standard Latin transcription, I don't know of it.
There's a difference between half-rings and apostrophes.

Re: Guess the Language, anyone?
I'd suspect that ‹ř› is transcribes /ʁ/, and Subsaharan Africa is not especially well-known for languages having uvular consonants. Or any vowels that could be reasonably transcribed as ‹y›.Herr Dunkel wrote:This stuff is really weird: ʿ ņķɣχčřy
