second revision:
I love this. It's so hideous
less hideous in V2
so the word would be spelt Ĥñœññngoiechë
⟨ñ⟩ for /ŋ/! That's a fun way to handle it. I also see you got ⟨ĥ⟩ from Esperanto, and swapped the diaeresis with umlaut.
There's also ⟨Ħ ħ⟩, Maltese style. I often use it for /h/, when I don't want H-digraphs to interfere.
Those rules for ⟨c⟩/⟨ç⟩ vs. ⟨s⟩ hint some etymological reason, like older /k/→[…]→/s/, Romance style. It's messy but the good kind of. And your example with ⟨garço⟩ made me notice your conlang got some French vibes, I like it.
On the vowels: the diacritics became a bit of a mess, I think your first revision with digraphs+diaeresis was better. Personally I'd go with something like
/i y u/ ⟨i u ou⟩
/e ø o/ ⟨ie eu o⟩
/ɛ œ ɔ/ ⟨ea oe oa⟩
/ɑ ə/ ⟨a e⟩
And then diaeresis on the second letter to ensure separated reading, and/or acute on the first for disambiguation.
So /xafɛ/ ends as ⟨ĥafea⟩ "wheat" and ⟨ĥaféa⟩ "café", and your little abomination is ⟨ĥñoeññngoiëche⟩. (Note: most languages would quickly convert that /ŋŋng/ into /ŋg/, so your word would end as ⟨ĥñoeñgoiëche⟩.
I'm just throwing ideas, mind you.
thanks but I think I fixed most of that in the current version 
At first glance, I thought that was a list Rubik’s cube algs.
I prefer digraphs (Czech CH/Ch/ch) to compound letters (Slovenian IJ/ij), the half-capitalized version just looks better
What's shown in the picture is fairly solid, to be honest. The vowels remind me Italian (four heights) meets German (front unrounded vs. front rounded vs. back rounded).
/ʁ/ is being listed twice; is this an accident? Or is the consonant playing double role, as both the voiced counterpart for /x/ and as a liquid?
Vowel romanisation is a bit weird but eh, kind of tricky to do this anyway. I typically reserve letters otherwise associated with consonants for this reason; e.g. ⟨w y v⟩. But in your case it would require a lot of respelling.
Props for using a diaeresis instead of umlaut. It's the best approach in this case, umlaut tends to create too much diacritic spam.
Main thing missing from the phonotactics are assimilation rules; for example languages typically don't allow stuff like /np/ or /mt/, even if otherwise allowed. I also think it's a bit strange to allow coda stops but not coda fricatives, but that might be due to "stereotypical Romance" bias from my part.
I forgot to add that end vowels fall silent when an apostrophe comes before them, technically “KHngoiengngņgöiëxuh’í” /xŋœŋŋngoieʃə/ is completely legal
Did you review the conlang in the meantime? Because the pic says nothing about apostrophes, and /xŋ/ doesn't seem to be a valid onset in the list.
I feel like I fixed most of that in the second revision
I don't know what region this is supposed to be in and I already hate the eastern dialects
do you mean (C)CV(C) for the syllable structure because your example word kinda contradicts that
thats why im the second revision I changed it to Ĥafêl (V2), thats for letting me know that (I didn’t notice until I saw this)

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
