Zompist Bboard Again

might as well add the reverse now
You post a romanization, cyrillization, etc. and then you figure out a phonology for it.

let's start off with:
b bb c d dd f g gw h j k kw l m mp n nt ñ ŋ ŋk ŋkw ŋw p r s t w y

a ɛ e i ɔ o u

Tones: high, mid, low

I would prefer making it a single thread.

Consonant:
Vowel
[a ɛ e i ɔ o u] Written like IPA.

Tone:
1. High : Written with acute accent
2. Mid : Unwritten
3. Low : Written with grave accent

Phonotactics:
(C)V

You're supposed to do a phonology after, just to clarify. I started the first RRCT as I call it. So we can have a new one to start with
I guess I'll do it...

Uh, where is the next one?

Oh, do we have to put one? I thought this was like the Romanization Challenge Thread, where everyone keeps on replying to the same problem until someone else suggests a new one.

Anyway. here’s a new one:

⟨a b ƃ d ď ƌ e ẹ f ɣ ƣ h i k l m n ň ŋ o ọ q r ṙ s t ť u w y z ʔ ʌ ʌ̣⟩

Vowels may be modified by the following diacritics:
⟨a á ả â a̍ ä aƞ⟩
When vowels are doubled, the modifier goes on the second vowel.
(Note: the diacritic after ⟨â⟩ is meant to be a vertical line above, but you may need to zoom in to see it)

Sample text:
⟨ƃa̍s yw kʌ̣p ƌoön γảŋsẃ hoʔ meeƞqâ dẹƞtŵ sëp ŵs ƣa ťaa̍ŋ ro⟩

(PS: I’ve corrected the spelling error in the title in this reply)

Your language doesn't have letter a.

Excellent point! That should be fixed now.

⟨a b ƃ d ď ƌ e ẹ f ɣ ƣ h i k l m n ň ŋ o ọ q r ṙ s t ť u w y z ʔ ʌ ʌ̣⟩ /a b ɓ d ɟ ɗ ɛ e f ɣ ʕ h i k l m n ɲ ŋ ɔ o q ɽ r s t c u u̝/w i̝/j z ʔ ʌ ɤ/

Vowels may be modified by the following diacritics:
⟨a á ả â a̍ ä aƞ⟩
a = low tone modal voice
á = high modal voice
ả = low-falling breathy voice
â = high-falling creaky voice
a̍ = low tone creaky voice
ä = raising-falling broken tone.
aƞ = low tone nasalized vowel

Double letter indicates length, except in open syllable where all vowels are long. (like Thai.)

Sample text:
⟨ƃa̍s yw kʌ̣p ƌoön γảŋsẃ hoʔ meeƞqâ dẹƞtŵ sëp ŵs ƣa ťaa̍ŋ ro⟩ /ɓa̰s˩ ju̝˩ kɤp˩ ɗɔˀɔn˧˥˦ ɣa̤ŋ˧˩sʊ̝˧˥ hɔʔ˩ mɛ̃ː˩qa̰˧ dẽ˩tu̝̰˧ se̯ˀe̯p˧˥˦ u̝̰s˥˨ ʕa˩ ca̰ːŋ˩ ɽɔ˩/

There is some tone sandhi at work here. High becomes high raising after low or falling tone. Falling tone also becomes mid-tone after to low or falling tone.

Next: (Let's reassign Latin alphabet):

A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P QV R S T V X

Additionally, there is acute accent over A I V E and O. Q never occurs without V.

I tried to make something as different as possible to Latin, but there’s only so much you can do with that alphabet:

⟨P T C QV K⟩ /p t k kʷ ʔ/
⟨B D G⟩ /b d g/
⟨F S X H⟩ /f s ʃ h/
⟨L⟩ /l/

⟨A E I O V⟩ /a ə i u v̩/ (NB. the last ‘vowel’ is a syllabic /v/)

Acute accent represents high tone. No accent represents low tone.

EDIT: Switched all the letters from lowercase to the original Latin uppercase

I don’t have another one for you to do right now, sorry. I’ll post a new alphabet as soon as I think of something interesting!

Actually, I have another idea for the same alphabet — but hopefully this one’s much more interesting! It’s inspired by Babm (/bɔˈɑːbɔmu/), a conlang most notable for using the English alphabet as a syllabary. So can we do this with the Latin alphabet as well?

Firstly, ignoring ⟨qv⟩ for now, there are 20 letters in the Latin alphabet — a nice round number. For our purposes, this can be considered as 10 onsets × 2 vowels. I’ll set the vowels as /ɑ ə/; a reasonable set of onsets is the null onset + /p t k f s h m n j/. So we can start assigning letters to syllables:

⟨A E⟩ /ɑ ə/
⟨P T K⟩ /pɑ tɑ kɑ/
⟨B D G⟩ /pə tə kə/
⟨F S H⟩ /fɑ sɑ hɑ/
⟨V X R⟩ /fə sə hə/
⟨M N I⟩ /mɑ nɑ jɑ/
⟨O L C⟩ /mə nə jə/

Now, what about ⟨qv⟩? I’ve decided arbitrarily that it raises the vowel of the preceding syllable (maybe because ⟨V⟩ /u/ is a high vowel?). So we actually get a four-vowel system: //ɑ ə ɑQV əQV// → /ɑ ə u i/. So now we can write stuff like:
⟨AL HQVOL BQVCQVLX A PQVL VHEQV…⟩
/ɑ.nə hu.mə.nə pi.ji.nə.sə ɑ pu.nə fə.hə.i …/
Admittedly, it’s not the best rendition of the start of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which I’ve ever seen, but I think it’s impressive that anything can be done with this writing system at all!

Something minimalistic and cute from my latest D&D game. I'll give y'all a hint: there are two letters denoting two allophones and a single phoneme.

m n mm nn
b p pp d t tt g k kk
f s z h
v w l r

a e i o u

⟨m n mm nn⟩ /m n m̥ n̥/
⟨b p pp d t tt g k kk⟩ /b p pʰ d t tʰ g k kʰ/
⟨f s z h⟩ /f s z h/
⟨v w l r⟩ [v w l r]

⟨a e i o u⟩ /a e i o u/

The allophones are [l] and [r]. (Or possibly [v] and [w].)

Next challenge:

⟨a â aa ɛ b bb c cc d dƛ e ə f g i ii j k kk l ł ƛ ƛʼ m n ng hm hn hng o ô p pp r s sh t tt th u û uu wh x y⟩
