I took Russian and put it through some hypothetical questionably polonic future sound changes. But not too many, given how conservative it is.

This lang has already been cyrillised here, but I do want to see it romanised. /sexretʰʲ nẽwaː/ m mʲ n nʲ ɲ ŋ ŋʷ b bʲ d dʲ dʒ ɡ ɡʷ pʰ pʰʲ tʰ tʰʲ tʃʰ kʰ kʰʷ f s ɕ ʑ ʂ x xʷ h w j ɾ l ʎ Palatalised consonants are always found before front vowels in onset, labialised ones - before back vowels.

You should have posted a passage in Irish with phonemes! Couldn't really find one that was in IPA, and I'm not gonna try to pretend I can descipher Irish orthography into phonemes. Umm you posted this complete with multiple /o/'s in a word without marking stress; could you add stress to your passag...

Now, a language with a phonology as beautiful as its writing system is ugly: /ɡeːlʲɟə/ /m mʲ n nʲ ŋ ɲ /p pʲ t tʲ k c/ /b bʲ d dʲ ɡ ɟ/ /f fʲ s ʃ x ç h/ /w vʲ ɣ j/ /ɾ ɾʲ l lʲ/ /i a u e o/ + lenɡth ~~~~ And fuck it, why not another one with pervasive palatalisation, except this one's IRL writing system...

Descended from Russian with some Ukrainian and Polish mixed in. So yes, technically.

Another lang of mine, same family as the last one: /aw seeɾetˢi neⁿwaj/ /pᶲ tˢ tʃᶴ kˣ/ /p~m t~ɾ~n tʃ~ɲ ts k~ŋ/ /t’ ts’ tʃ’ k’/ /ɓ ɗ ʄ/ /w j/ /i a u e o/ +lonɡ +nasal A phonetic <ʔ> is inserted between phonemic vowels bordering each other.

I'm playing with a conlang where the single alveolar stop has lenited to [ts] in onset and coda and to [r] intervocalically, leaving [t] only in the geminated [tː], the realisation of /pt tt kt/ sequences. This sounds very similar to my dialect of English, where /t/ is [ɾ] intervocalically and [tˢ]...

Are there any languages without or with few phonetic alveolar or dental stops?

CVC, nasal allophones invariably precede nasal vowels.

Let me guess - your native language is Russian.

Yep

That was indeed Chechen.
