1. That is very silly
2. Is it Opuo? If so where are the rest of the tone markings?

1. It's really not that silly, /I U/ are centralized after all. Many conlangers use IPA letters in way weirder ways anyways.
2. Yeah. The extra high and high tones are conflated, and so are the mid and low tones: /a̋ á ā à/ <á á a a>. It looks like something a conlanger would do but it seems to work well for them.

This may technically be cheating so apologies in advance.

Yeah, it's real. There's a paper on it that google is now denying exists but I have a copy of it somehow.

That looks weirdly like English for some reason. But I imagine it's probably something Tibetic?

My initial thought was "is this Tibeto-Burman?".
