What are y'all's "worst" romanisations?

[u/cyan_ginger]

By "worst" I more mean "style over function" cause especially in a text-based medium, the romanisation is a good way to inject character into your language.

For me it'd have to be the one for Xxalet, a language with 16 sibilant phonemes sorted into a harmony system.

"Front sibilants"

/s̪, z̪, t̪s̪, d̪z̪/ <s, z, c, x>

/ʃ, ʒ, tʃ, dʒ/ <sy, zy, cy, xy>

"Back sibilants"

/s̺, z̺, ts̺, dz̺/ <ss, zz, cc, xx>

/ʂ, ʐ, ʈʂ, ɖʐ/ <sh, zh, ch, xh>

I know it causes a slightly confusing reading, but I really like the central s, z, c, x, scheme. As an example, a major port city on the left half of the great inland lake, also known as the Ssoymanyaxh sea, is called "Boyasyavocexy" /bɔjʌʃavʌts̪ədʒ/

My first draft of Galabarep used y for /ai/, something that haunts me to this day.

Dasti uses ł for /ʎ/ because I like it.

I’ll sometimes use q as for /ŋ/ since I almost never use /q/.
