When multiple retroflex consonants are in sequence, the ⟨r⟩ is only written on the last one.

The random acutes on vowels are marked with vowel doubling (note that ⟨ea⟩ and ⟨ẽã⟩ double to ⟨eea⟩ and ⟨ẽẽã⟩).

Here's something new, not only a romanization challenge but an etymology one. All I'll say is that it's an posteriori language and that the words are direct roots from the proto-language via Wiktionary.

/m n ɲ/
/p t t͡s t͡ʃ k/
/b d d͡ʒ g/
/s ʃ/
/v ð l j/
/r/

/i y ɯ u/
/e ø ɤ o/
/æ ɑ/

+ a length contrast for all vowels

/vɑːt͡ʃ kɑj t͡ʃɑɲ ɑd͡ʒ ɲɑm pɤk tɑː kut͡ʃ keð mɯː vɑt͡ʃ kævðe pɑːk/

[Travis B.]

/r/ ⟨r⟩

/i y ɯ u/ ⟨i y ü u⟩
/e ø ɤ o/ ⟨e ø ö o⟩
/æ ɑ/ ⟨æ a⟩

Long vowels are doubled.

Stressed syllable vowels

Stressed syllables are always the last syllable in a word.

Monophthongs:

	front	central	back
close	i	ɨ	u
close-mid	e	ɘ	o
open-mid	ɛ	ɜ	ɔ
open	æ		ɑ

Monophthongs in stressed syllables can be short or long, independent of quality.

Diphthongs:

	front end	central end	back end
front start	æi	æɨ	æu
back start	ɑi	ɑɨ	ɑu

Diphthongs are always long.

Minor syllable vowels

	front	central	back
near-close	ɪ	ɨ	ʊ
near-open		ɐ

Minor syllable vowels are always short.

Stressed minor syllable vowels

'Stressed minor syllables' may seem like a contradiction in terms, but this occurs if two or more syllables are attached to a final stressed syllable, where then they form iambs, and the stressed syllables of each iamb other than the final syllable count as 'stressed minor syllables'.

	front	central	back
close	i	ɨ	u
open		a

Stressed minor syllable vowels are always short.

Tones/registers

There are five tones/registers, low/modal, low/breathy, mid/modal, high/modal, and high/creaky.

Only final syllables are marked for tone/register.

Low tones use the second option for their onset consonants and both breathy and creaky voice is marked with a following ⟨h⟩. The starred option for consonants is used outside the final syllable and for mid modal voice. If a mid modal syllable has a stop coda, than that will be of the other option to the onset, and it will be unambiguously mid.

max syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C). onset clusters can only consist of two voiceless obstruents or a nasal followed by any consonant, and may not contain a geminate. extra-long vowels can only occur in open syllables or word-final syllables.

Instead of a stress system, /mixiʃaː/ uses a pitch accent system. the pitch accent falls to the heaviest of the first two syllables in any given word, with initial bias, and then to every third post-pitch syllable.

As accentuation is not phonemic it is not marked.

I appreciate it when people add stress systems to these hypothetical inventories. Likewise with allophony. Makes it much more plausible and therefore easier to work with.

Anyway:

The pitch accent is regular, so it is unmarked.

yep, I seem drawn to using it every time I'm feeling out a new romanization or orthography. no clue why.
