Ooh, you could sing the blues to this... could just chainshift the
consonants that do not start or end a word...

Ura zi dinkmaukuud or
Limrar don nudir
Maukiar don maid
M'riar don ed
Mairim ram dinkmaukuud
Lokand m'lor zøn zyukom zi rouk
Uz lymkiaud zi dolk
Ram zø lymkaud zi dolkuaz.
Uz kondriauk zim lolz zik
L'uo m'kun zim lolz
Ziin dan ømkuaz maukiaud
Uz k'ndaud
Uz køkald
Ruruud

Then if we run a "cherman"-filter on the codas... (wouldn't
change the orthogrpahy, only the phonetics...)

Ura zi dinkmaukuut or
Limrar don nudir
Maukiar don mait
M'riar don et
Mairim ram dinkmaukuut
Lokant m'lor zøn zyukom zi rouk
Us lymkiaut zi dolk
Ram zø lymkaut zi dolkuas.
Us kondriauk zim lols zik
L'uo m'kun zim lols
Ziin dan ømkuas maukiaut
Us k'ndaut
Us køkalt
Ruruut

Hmm, now it looks like a cross between Basque, Inuktitut and
Some Romance Lang Or Other(tm).

Harmonization (voiced to voiced, voiceless to voiceless) of
clusters would then give:

Ura zi dingmaukuut or
Limrar don nudir
Maukiar don mait
M'riar don et
Mairim ram dingmaukuut
Lokant m'lor zøn zyukom zi rouk
Us lymgiaut zi dolk
Ram zø lymgaut zi dolguas.
Us kondriauk zim lols zik
L'uo m'kun zim lols
Ziin dan ømguas maukiaut
Us k'ndaut
Us køkalt
Ruruut

Minimal change, no need to change the orthography again
actually. This was fun :)
