Not an alphabet, but a nice phonology overview of Ösjke:

http://img248.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... ogyqf0.png

A few additional explanations:

1) In fact the palato-alveolars are rather post-alveolar sounds, but they are pronounced so softly, that they nearly sound like palatals.
2) the retroflex consonants are also rather post-alveolars, but they are pronounced rather normal so that they sound very similar to retroflex consonants and clearly different to the "soft" post-alveolars
3) the velar friccatives can also be pronounced as uvular friccatives, but that's optional
4) sounds in brackets ( ) are only possible allophones in some positions ("z" for "s" / dark "l" for normal "l")
5) [r] often gets vowelized after vowels (as in German), so that there might be some more diphthongs: [aɐ] [ɔɐ] [ɛɐ] [eɐ] [iɐ] [ʊɐ] [œɐ] [ʏɐ] [yɐ]
Because of the fact that they're only allophones for [ar], [ɔr], [ɛr] and so on, they are not regarded as true diphthongs.

I have a little problem with making the picture appear instead the link, maybe someone could help?!

I'm not good with IPA and I just learned what X Sampa is before I hit the "Post Reply" link, so you'll have to make do with Californian English pronunciation with a few other languages here and there. I have four major conlangs - Classical Akxeldian, Western and Eastern Anzeiru, and Modern Kvayani.

Classical Akxeldian:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/kmokuba/conlangs/akxelalphabet.jpg

Eastern Anzeiru (Isi-Anzeiru):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/kmokuba/conlangs/isialphabet.jpg
This has some notes because its alphabet has been reduced from 40 separate graphs to 19.

Western Anzeiru (Ki-Anzeiru):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/kmokuba/conlangs/kialphabet.jpg
In my signature is an example of Ki-Anzeiru. "This is a sample of the Anzeri language, one of my conlangs. It is not yet complete."

Modern Kvayani:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/kmokuba/conlangs/mokvayaalpha.jpg

Isi-Anzeiru and Ki-Anzeiru used to be one language. At that time, I did create a special script for it, but I'm too lazy to search my house for the cord for the scanner. There's also the problem that the script contains 21 letters no longer used in Isi-Anzeiru, and it cannot be applied to Ki-Anzeiru.

My most developed conlang, Tarteza, uses the following alphabet: (it's not a really fantastic or 'alien-looking' alphabet because I designed it to be kind of realistic for a specific society).

Vowels:

A [a]
Ä [ɛ]
E [e]
I [i ], [j] before other vowels
O [o]
U [u], [w] before other vowels
Some dialects also use the sound [y], but the standard pronounciation is [ju] and therefore it's written IU.

Consonants:

B [b ] ([β] between vowels)
C/QU [k] (c is used before a, o and u, while qu is used before ä, e and i)
D [d] ([ð] between vowels)
F [f]
G [g]
H/J [h] (h is used at the beginning of the word, j inside the word)
L [l]
M [m]
N [n] ([ŋ] always in final position)
Ñ [ɲ]
P [p]
R [ɾ]
SH [ʃ]
T [t]
V [v]
Y [ʝ] (never as a semi-vowel)
Z [θ]

S is used to indicate aspiration at the beginning of the word, mostly in the groups SP- and ST-.

Diacritics:

Â Ê Î Ô Û the circumflex is used on any vowel (except ä) to indicate it must be pronounced long and aspirated, like  [a:ʰ]. This aspiration very often modifies the consonant that follows it, turning [d] into [hð], and [b ] into [hv], for instance.

I have to develop more vocabulary to my conlang... I just stole words from german, english and afrikaans, i should do something different. I want to post something when i have it a more advance stage. I found out in a old notebook a alphabet of Lynkyn, don't ask me how it is pronounced, i can't remember, that time i never had heard about IPA...
The letters are:
a e p o d l b u k i s t h y n g
They're all minuscules letters, no matter where they're inside the sentence.

This one is really a mess of conlang, i mixed esperanto, portuguese, japanese, tupi (brazilian native language), latin, english and some a priori vocabulary... humm... maybe i should finish it and give a wreid abjad writting system :P
I love abjads :lol:

This doesn't look backwards to me.
