No point cluttering up C&CQ. (Hellenizations, Oriyizations etc. also go here.)

Don't forget example sentences.

(Edit: "How should I romanize this conlang?" posts can also go here.)

Since this will get nowhere without one to start it off: Hmong Daw
/pʰ p pˡʰ pˡ tʰ t ʈʰ t cʰ c kʰ k qʰ q ʔ/
/ᵐpʰ ᵐb ᵐpˡʰ ᵐbˡ ⁿtʰ ⁿd ᶯʈʰ ᶯɖ ᶮcʰ ᶮɟ ᵑkʰ ᵑɡ ᶰqʰ ᶰɢ/
/tsʰ ts tʂʰ tʂ/
/ⁿtsʰ ⁿdz ⁿtʂʰ ⁿdʐ/
/f v s ɬ ʂ ʐ ç ʝ h/
/m̥ m m̥ˡ mˡ n̥ n ɲ̥ ɲ/
/a e ẽ~ʌŋ ɔ ɔ̃~oŋ i ɨ u/
/ai aɨ au iə uə/
Tones: high, mid, low, high falling, mid rising, low creaky, mid-falling breathy (pɔ́ pɔ pɔ̀ pɔ̂ pɔ̌ pɔ̰̀ pɔ̤̂)
Low creaky tone is realized phrase-finally as a long low rising tone.

I'd use an overdot for low creaky, as it's more distinct, instead of a hook, but Unicode has no symbol for U+overdot, and I didn't want to use combining diacritics.

/m n/
/f v s z/
/ɾ l/
/a e i o u/
/ae io ua ue ui ai ao ea ia ou/ [ae jo wa we wi ai ao ea ia oː]

/a e i o u/ become [ə ɛ ɪ ɔ ʊ] in open syllables
/ae io ua ue ui ai ao ea ia ou/ become [aɛ jɔ wə wɛ wɪ aɪ aɔ eə iə oː] in open syllables
/ɾ/ becomes [ɚ] syllable finally, [aɚ] becomes [aː]
/s z/ become [ʃ ʒ] before /i/
geminates are possible for everything but [ʔ], /ɾː/ is [rː] Geminates can only start a syllable.
/m/ becomes [n] before a alveolar plosive or nasal, and [ŋ] before a velar plosive.
/n/ becomes [m] before a bilabial plosive or nasal, and [ŋ] before a velar plosive.

Syllable structure: (C)V(V)(C)

Errors, that's where they come from. <q> is /ʔ/, <c> is /k/

Note that stuff like [tak.aː] and [tə.kaː] are distinguished...

And if it's simple, you can romanize it based on some other language... or try it in another script like hiragana or hangul...

New Challenge: Akhvakh

I've reversed the order of the <ʼ> and <ː> from the article (and indeed am using <ː> instead of <:>).

/p pʼ b t tʼ d k kː kʼ kʼː g ʔ/
/m n/
/t͜s t͜sː t͜sʼ t͜sʼː t͜ʃ t͜ʃː t͜ʃʼ t͜ʃʼː d͜ʒ t͜ɬ t͜ɬː t͜ɬʼ t͜ɬʼː q͡χ q͡χː q͡χʼ q͡χʼː/
/v s sː z ʃ ʃː ʒ ɬ ɬː ç x xː ɣ ħ ʕ h/
/r/
/l j/

/ħ ʕ/ may actually be /ʜ ʢ/, or allophones, or something. The article notes a reliance on older sources and mentions this uncertainty.

/a aː e eː i iː o oː u uː/ (A bit of conjecture here based upon the example sentences in the source, as the article lacked any phonemic vowels section. The long vowels besides /iː eː/ are conjectured on the basis of analogy, and may well not actually exist.)

Example sentences: (Again, some extrapolation here)

jaʃe q͡χ'ːeɬːa jete jiːni (Affricate here assumed because no */qʼː/ was given in the table)
"The girl ran home."

ak'ːode riɬ'ːi biʒe q͡χ'ːeːni
"The wife cooked the meat and ate it."

I thought of trying to be really wacky and using colours to mark tone, but then I realised I could actually do it quite neatly by more conventional means. I won't rule that idea out for another time though...

This is a phoneme inventory I made, just so I could make a conscript for it, but I still quite like it.
I do have one problem though: how should I romanize it?

I'm a little baffled at how many RomCs we've had with a language that has /ɬ/ and no /l/, where everyone has suggested <lh>, <hl> or <ł> instead of just <l>.

Speaking of langs with /ɬ/ but no /l/...

Seri

/p t k kʷ ʔ/
/ɸ s ɬ ʃ x xʷ χ χʷ/
/m n/
/j/
/l ɾ/ (only in loanwords)
/ɛ ɛː ɑ ɑː i iː o oː/

* /m/ is realized as [w̃] + nasalization of the following vowel after velar stops.
* Non-rounded vowels are realized as diphthongs [ɛo̯ ɑo̯ iu̯] before rounded consonants.
* Stress is contrastive. Stress normally falls on the first syllable of a root. The sample text only marks stress when it's not on the first syllable of the word.

Sample text:
oχ iˈpɑktɑ iti, ʃɑːx pɑk ʔɑkiχ tɑʔkɑ mɑ, kʷsiːɸp tɑ mɑ, ʔɑpχɑ ʃo tok kopom iʔo χ, tok kʷpoːp iʔo, oχ χɑʔ ʃo ʔɑiː ʔɑ. ʔɑpχɑ tikom oːt kop iˈtɑʔo, ʔɑɬχ itiˈχiːm, ʔɑɬχ iːx kʷkɑ ʔiː, ʔɑχ tɑˈʔiː ʔɑχ tɑː mɑ, ʃiːχ kiʔ iti kʷpoˈpɑktɑ tɑ, ʃiːχ kiʔ iti kʷisʃɑχʷ ʔɑ ʃo kʷiˈsiːʔkɑ ʔɑ, ʃ iˈpɑktɑ ʃ iˈmɑ, ʔɑχ tɑˈʔiː ʔɑχ mɑː χo ʃɑːx kiʔ iːʃk kiʔ koˈɬɛːkp koːm kom iti tinoɬ, koˈɬɛːki iˈtɛːtoɬ, tok kʷtɑp, jokɛ.

Ugly pseudo-Irish attempt:

Neutral consonants
/n/ n
/p b q/ p b k
/ⁿb ⁿɢ/ mb mk
/ɸ β θ z ʝ ʁ/ f v th z j q
/ɬ/ l
/q͡χ ɢ͡ʁ/ kh gh
/t͡ɬ d͡ɮ/ tl dl
/r/ r
/j/ y

Slender consonants:
/t̪ d̪ c ɟ/ t d c g
/ⁿd̪ ⁿɟ/ md mg
/s ç χ/ s ch h
/t̪͡θ/ dh
/w/ w*

Broad consonants:
/ʈ ɖ k g/ t d c g
/ⁿɖ ⁿg/ md mg
/ʂ x h/ s ch h
/ʈ͡ʂ/ dh
/ɥ/ w

Vowels:
/i y ɛ œ u ʌ ɔ a ə --/
Slender-Slender: í i é e eí ei ié éi íe ie
Broad-Broad: aú áu aó áo ú o ó á a u
Slender-Broad: íu iu éo eo iú ia eó iá ía io
Broad-Slender: uí aí aé oí úi oe ói ái ai ui
/i y ɛ œ/ are marked as slenderly as possible, and will be written Slender-Broad or Broad-Slender if bordering a single broad consonant.
/u ʌ ɔ a ə/ are marked as broadly as possible, and will be written Slender-Broad or Broad-Slender if bordering a single slender consonant.
Palatalization can be indicated, in many cases, with slender-marking. Labialization, on the other hand, cannot be written with broad-marking**.

/ˈⁿbyɥʌ, nɛ kɔt̪͡θ ʂəɟk pʲu q͡χɔs ɖʌjˈxᶣar./
Mbiuwoe, né cóidh saigcu piú khóis doy`chuwár
Mother, I am tired and hungry.


*I don't like the <w> here, but there aren't many other options...<mh> seems clumsy, as does <bh>.
**Unless the labialization is allophonic and w will only appear in conjunction with slender consonants and ɥ with broad ones; I don't know the specifics of the phonology.

/p t k kʷ ʔ/ <p t k kw '>
/ɸ s ɬ ʃ x xʷ χ χʷ/ <f s lh c x xw q qw>
/m n/ <m n>
/j/ <j>
/l ɾ/ <l r>
/ɛ ɛː ɑ ɑː i iː o oː/ <e ee a aa i ii o oo>

oχ iˈpɑktɑ iti, ʃɑːx pɑk ʔɑkiχ tɑʔkɑ mɑ, kʷsiːɸp tɑ mɑ, ʔɑpχɑ ʃo tok kopom iʔo χ, tok kʷpoːp iʔo, oχ χɑʔ ʃo ʔɑiː ʔɑ. ʔɑpχɑ tikom oːt kop iˈtɑʔo, ʔɑɬχ itiˈχiːm, ʔɑɬχ iːx kʷkɑ ʔiː, ʔɑχ tɑˈʔiː ʔɑχ tɑː mɑ, ʃiːχ kiʔ iti kʷpoˈpɑktɑ tɑ, ʃiːχ kiʔ iti kʷisʃɑχʷ ʔɑ ʃo kʷiˈsiːʔkɑ ʔɑ, ʃ iˈpɑktɑ ʃ iˈmɑ, ʔɑχ tɑˈʔiː ʔɑχ mɑː χo ʃɑːx kiʔ iːʃk kiʔ koˈɬɛːkp koːm kom iti tinoɬ, koˈɬɛːki iˈtɛːtoɬ, tok kʷtɑp, jokɛ.
Oq ipákta iti, caax pak 'akiq ta'ka ma, kwsiifp ta ma, 'apqa co tok kopom i'o q, tok kwpoop i'o, oq qa' co 'aii 'a. 'Apqa tikom oot kop itá'o, 'alhq itiqíím, 'alhq iix kwka 'ii, 'aq ta'íí 'aq taa ma, ciiq ki' iti kwpopákta ta, ciiq ki'iti kwiscaqw á co kwisíí'ka 'a, c ipákta c imá, 'aq ta'íí 'aq maa qo caax ki' iick ki' kolhéékp koom kom iti tinolh, kolhééki itéétolh, tok kwtap, joke.

I may consider replacing <j> with <y>, and <'> with <j>, but it'd not be very logical, and I don't know how it'll look.

EDIT: Oh lawdy, looks like I forgot to differentiate between /ɬ/ and /l/. I'll edit it.

/l ɾ/ w r
/ɛ ɛː ɑ ɑː i iː o oː/ e ê a â i î o ô

<y> marks irregular stress, and is used with syllabic(?) consonants.

Sample text:
Oh ipaykta iti, xâc pak qakih taqka ma, kusîfp ta ma, qapha xo tok kopom iqo hy, tok kupôp iqo, oh haq xo qaî qa.

those are clitics, not syllabic consonants

Could someone help me romanise or hellenise (not cyrillise) a conlang? I'm having trouble dealing with the numerous distinctions.
The conlang in question is named "Proto-Wargish" - /ʋɒrɡraɳ/ and its phoneme inventory is this:

/p (b) t d ʈ ɖ k ɡ q ɢ/
/ʰs s ʰʂ ʂ/
/ʋ ^ɦʋ j ^ɦj ɰ ^ɦɰ/
/ʝ ʝ: ɣ ɣ: ɦ/
/m̊ m m: n̊ n n: ɳ̊ ɳ ɳ:/
/ɬ ɬ: ɮ ɮ:/
/r r: ɽ ɽ:/
/l l: ɭ ɭ:/

/i ɨ ɨ: ʉ ʉ: u/
/ɛ œ ɜ ɜ: ɵ ɔ ɔ:/
/a ɒ/

/ɜ̃/
/ã ɒ̃/

/ɥ͡ø ɥ͡ɵ/
/ɒ͡a/

Example text:

/ʝɒ ʋɒrɡraɳ ɰɒ̃ ʝɜm: ɥ͡øɦʋɒnɔ ɳʉɬ ɰɒrqɒra ɣum: pɔ^ɦʋɒlɜ:ʝɛn krɛlʝɒ ɬʉm̊ ɥ͡ɵɦjɒidɜn ɣɔ:kʉ^ɦʋɒʝːã sɒʰʂɒdɜm: ɰʋɒdɔɳ m̊ɛ^ɦʋɒɦɜn ɢɒɮ:aq ʋɒrɡɜ̃m ɰʉ:ʰsa ɰʉ:ʰsɔ^ɦʋɛn ɔrɜqɒnaɳa ɳɨʝit ɖaknɒ jɵkɔnɒ͡adɥ͡ø/

These are just the phonemes, not actual phones.

_________________

Partially following other people's suggestions for a romanization, I made my own:

/n/ <n>
/p b t̪ d̪ ʈ ɖ c ɟ k g q/ <p b t d ť ď ṭ ḍ k g q>
/ⁿb ⁿd̪ ⁿɖ ⁿɟ ⁿg ⁿɢ/ <np nt nť nṭ nk nq>

/t͡ɬ d͡ɮ/ <tl dl>
/r/ <r>
/j w ɥ/ <j w ẅ>

/i y u ɛ œ ʌ ɔ a ə/ <i ü u e ö a o ä ë>

/ˈⁿbyɥʌ nɛ kɔt̪͡θ ʂəɟk pʲu q͡χɔs ɖʌjˈxᶣar./

Mother, I am tired and hungry.
