I've recently started working on a Elvish language for the same coniverse that Yargish is spoken in. In the transliteration, stop+h spells the corresponding fricative, so you get normal stuff like |ch|=[x], but also |bh|=[B]. This reflects the native script's use of a special fricativizer symbol. Despite my best intentions, the thing is getting a vaguely walliosindarinic feel - _creach_ [krjax] "castle" is likely going to be _chreaec_ [xrjajk] in the definite plural gentive ("of the castles"). Andreas PS I'm planning to concoct an orthography for Yargish using this Elvish script. It's romanization might become something to see - "Nashaval" (name of the mountains where the Yargish lives) is going to come out as something like _Naseabhal_, and then there goes downhill. A hypothetical Yargish word _nyizh_ [n^jiZ] would have to come out as _neidhe_.
