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 wasn't made by complete lunatics

/ruskij jazik/

/m mʲ n nʲ/
/p pʲ t tʲ k/
/b bʲ d dʲ ɡ/
/ts tɕ/
/f fʲ s sʲ ʂ ɕ x/
/v vʲ z zʲ ʐ/
/r rʲ l lʲ/
/j/

final obstruents are always voiceless

/a e i o u/, /e o/ are only ever found in stressed syllables, /i/ has [ɨ] as a major allophone after nonpalatalised consonants.

Couldn't really find one that was in IPA, and I'm not gonna try to pretend I can descipher Irish orthography into phonemes.

the Mhra spelling conventions are quite optimized, so applying them to anything that isn't colloquial Nargun Mhra inevitably results in disaster

Palatalised CV is <CiV>, except Ci, which is <Ci>. Palatalised C syllable/word-finally is <Ć>. Non-palatalised Ci is <Cy>. Palatals are unmarked for palatalisation for obvious reasons. /ts/ is never palatalised and is written as such. That's all you need, folks!

[Darren]

Another Lakes Plain language, Obokuitai:

/b t d (dʒ) k (kʷ)/
/s h/

/(i̝g̚ u̝b̚) i u ɛ o a/

H, L, HL
(L being by far the most frequent)

Syllable structure is (C)(C)V(V)(C); onsets are limited to /Cd/ (/bd td dd kd sd hd/ → [bɾ tɾ dɾ kɾ sɾ hɾ~ɸɾ]) and codas are limited to [i̝g̚ u̝b̚] which have been analysed as either /ik uk/ or /id ud/, although either of these requires contrastive syllabification (/ìk.dì/ → [ì̝g̚dì] 'tree sp.' vs. /á.kdùk/ → [ákɾù̝b̚] 'leaf').

Another issue is the case of [kʷ]; the onset [kʷɾV] occurs but is analysed as /kudV/, and [kʷV] is analysed as /kuV/, although this means positing CVVV(C) syllables where C1 is always /k/ and V1 is always /u/. And also CVCV syllables...

And [dʒ] occurs syllable-initially following [i̝g̚] (e.g. [kí̝g̚.dʒɛ̀.dí] 'song') analysed as /i/, but this requires iVV(C) syllables that only follow /Vk/ (/iV/ syllables occur elsewhere too). But then if you analyse it as /dʒ/, then it only occurs word-internally following one vowel.

Analyse these various features as you wish. The sample below uses Scott and Jenison's 11-phoneme analysis.
