Read it like a Spaniard?

EDIT: <th> doesn't seem bad for /tθ/ but not good for /ts/.

Yeah, I just realized that as well.

I can't really think of anything that works for both /tθ/ and /ts/.

EDIT

We could use <tc> like we did in the last one. It was... odd. But doable.

No length is fine with me.

Also, I am not participating.
Spoiler:
I am joking. Of course I am participating

Yeah, <tc> is very strange indeed, but I can stand it.

Or we could just start adding diacritics :roll:.

I am trying to avoid that. At least with the consonants. Maybe even vowels. We could always barrow from romanized Korean and the like for our vowels.

Yeah, as am I. Should we just go with <tc> for now?

I think I like <z> better, though.

I went with <tz> at first because I thought it looked better. Just <z> makes me want to read it as /ts/ or /z/, which is why I was thinking we go <tz>, more intuitive to me. I mean, we could just ditch it altogether. Or go with the kind of ugly <tth>

I know what you mean.

I'd rather go with <tc> or <tz> than <tth> :P.

Out of all of them, I like <tz> best. We can ditch the sound too, though.

I like the sound, so I'm willing to go with <tz> for now in order to keep it :-).

Alright, so we have this for now:
/m m̥ n̥ n ŋ v~ʋ t k tθ~ts s ʃ h j ɰ l r tɬ/
<m mh nh n ng v t k tz s sh h j w l r tl>

What about the vowels?
/i ɨ ɯ ɛ ɜ ɤ æ ɐ ɑ/
<i í u e é o ....>
