I’m indecisive about how to best distinguish dental and palatal phones in my WIP Indo-European cloŋ in the script of the Romans. The full consonant inventory and their current orthographic values are in the image above.

Some options I’m considering:

• t̪ c d̪ ɟ θ ç n̪ ɲ - The phonemes in question.
• t tc d dg s sj n gn - Their current assignments.
• t tj d dj s sj n nj - All Js. Looks nice and intuitive, but a bit monotonous.
• t ć d ǵ s ś n ń - The choice of diacritics is another matter. Looks clean, but they might fall victim to English speakers treating them as meaningless decorations.
• p t b d f s m n - Quasi-etymological. Looks okay, and makes it easier to spot cognates, but misleading and unintuitive.

Edit: I have no idea how to get tables working in Lemmy, so for now I’ve replaced the table with a screenshot from the Reddit thread.
