Thanks muchly. I've decided to go with a mixture of
the two systems, with some additions of my own

Do please indicate what you all think.

stops:
/p/ p
/b/ b
/t/ t
/d/ d
/k/ k
/g/ g
/q/ q
nasals:
/m/ m
/n/ n
/N/ ng
fricatives:
/P/ f
/B/ w
/T/ þ (thorn)
/D/ ð (edh)
/s/ s
/s_m/ ß (esszat)
/z/ s
/z_m/ ß (esszat)
/C/ ch
/j\/ jh
/x/ ch
/X/ qh
laterals:
/l/ l
/L/ ll
approximates:
/j/ j
rhotic:
/rR\/ r
affricates:
/tT/ tþ (t-thorn)
/dD/ tð (t-edh)
/ts/ z
/dz/ ds
/tC/ tch
/dj\/ djh
/kx/ kch
/qX/ qq
"whistleized":
/s_m_W/ ßü (esszat-u-diaeresis)
/z_m_W/ ßü (esszat-u-diaeresis)
/C_W/ chü (ch-u-diaeresis)
/j\_W/ jhü (jh-u-diaeresis)
/x_W/ chü (ch-u-diaeresis)
/t_W/ tü (t-u-diaeresis)
/d_W/ dü (d-u-diaeresis)
/k_W/ kü (k-u-diaeresis)
/g_W/ gü (g-u-diaeresis)

vowels:
/i/ ie
/I/ i
/e/ e
/@/ ë (e-diaeresis)
/&/ ä (a-diaeresis)
/u/ u
/O/ o

I am also thinking of either introducing a length
distinction or dipthongs. Which would you all
recommend, upon seeing the orthography and phonology?
