Nice to see you're not using approximations like "X letter/letter
combination is pronounced like Y letter/letter combination in Z natlang" :)

"c+hacek

How do you pronounce this? As <ch> in N.American "chalk"? If so, that's
/tS/.

"n+tilde

/n_j/. Ditto for m~. Or maybe the former would be /J/? What's the
difference?

"German 'au' or similarly Portuguese 'ao'

/au/ or /aw/, whichever you like.

"the sound in north American English i as in kite, flight, or German 'ei'

/ai/ or /aj/, ditto.

"oi as in north American English soil, spoil German 'eu'

/oi/ or /oj/, ditto.
