For Darren’s language:

/ɠ̥ɵ́kʰlɪ̃̀ɟɵ̀ʛwʉ̀/ Ƈoknijoƙwü

–ATR /ɪ ʊ ɔ ɵ a/ ⟨ì ù ò o a⟩
nasal /ɪ̃ ʊ̟̃ ɞ̃/ ⟨i(ŋ) u(ŋ) o(ŋ)⟩

The sonorant nasal/approximant alternations are written explicitly, as are the mergers with the implosives. (Though note [ɗ] is written ⟨l⟩.) The nasal vowels are unmarked when next to a nasal allophone, and take following ⟨ŋ⟩ otherwise.

The tones are unmarked, leading to the following result:

Alternately, the following system can be used to mark all (phonetic) tones:

/a˩ a˥ a˩˥ a˥˩ a˩˥˩ a˥˥˩ a˥˩˥ a˩˩˥ a˥˩˥˩/ ⟨a aˉ aˊ aˋ aˍ aꜙ aˇ aꜘ a˜⟩

Or here’s an ASCII-fied version:

Foxcatdog’s language:

/i y u/ ⟨i ü u⟩

Geminates and long vowels are formed by doubling the relevant vowel/consonant (or doubling both letters if a digraph).

Here is a typical language of the Swampish Far East.

The ɬ ɮ series is palatal, but the relevant extIPA characters don't display for me.

/ʕamχt/

/pʰ pʼ b tʰ tʼ d tsʰ tsʼ dz tɬʰ tɬʼ dɮ kʰ kʼ g qʼ ʡ ʔ/
/ɸ s ɬ ɮ χ ħ ʕ h/
/z r ɣ/
/m n̪ n ŋ/

/i y ɯ u/
/æ œ ə a/
/iɛ yœ/
/eɪ əʊ/
/eɛ ɤɐ oə/
/ɑɛ øɛ ɔø ɔo ɛɪɔ/
/l̩ l̩ʷ n/

Diphthongs only appear in initial syllables, excluding prefixes. The T and TL series don't contrast before syllabic consonants. Finals are /t k ʔ s ɬ χ h r m n ŋ/; coda clusters are allowed, but mostly word-finally. Hiatus is forbidden. /r/ is typically [ɭ̆].

Diphthongs only appear in initial syllables, excluding prefixes. The T and TL series don't contrast before syllabic consonants. Finals are /t k ʔ s ɬ χ h r m n ŋ/ <t k ' x c x h r m n ŋ> ; coda clusters are allowed, but mostly word-finally. Hiatus is forbidden. /r/ is typically [ɭ̆].

/ɻ e o/ occur only in loanwords, however, since Kaltan is moribund and rarely actively spoken anymore, they're quite frequent. Note also that /kaɻa:bin/ (or rather /kaɻan/, given that -bin is the lative suffix) is a placename.

All /r/s in the sample text are supposed to be /ɽ/. I've edited the original post to reflect that, but it seems that you've already copied it before I did it.

Ah, whoops. I assumed they were meant to be /ɹ/. I’ll fix mine now.
