There is no ⟨я ё ю⟩ in the first vowel transcription scheme because that would lead to problems when the vowel is long, unless you’d accept spellings like ⟨яа ёо юу⟩. The second cyrillicization, using an acute to indicate length, consequently uses ⟨э⟩ for /e/ to keep ⟨e⟩ as /je/; ⟨ї⟩ is used to write /ji/. Generally, instead of ⟨џ⟩, I’m tempted to use ⟨ж⟩ for [dʒ], even if that’s non-standard. ⟨ъ⟩ was borrowed from Bulgarian, but Ayeri’s /ə/ is usually spelled as ⟨a⟩ or ⟨e⟩ respectively in Tahano Hikamu, so this isn’t mandatory. If need be, /jə/ could be spelled as ⟨ъ̈⟩.

The dot-below diacritic (with ⟨γ⟩ as dot-above) is non-standard, but seems like a reasonable addition. ⟨χ⟩ is used instead of a rough breathing because that suits Ayeri’s phonology better. Furthermore, ⟨ϊ⟩ and ⟨ϋ⟩ are used to distinguish the consonant from the vowel respectively – though the trema isn’t strictly necessary. Writing ⟨μπ⟩, ⟨ντ⟩ for /b/, /d/ as in Modern Greek – and, by extension, ⟨νκ⟩ for /ɡ/ – was considered too cumbersome. Again, when spelled in Tahano Hikamu, there is no distinct character used for /ə/ in Ayeri, so ⟨ε̣⟩ is not mandatory. The spelling of the vowels doesn’t fully conform to both Ancient and Modern Greek otherwise either.

Devanāgarī comes rather close to Ayeri’s own native script, since both are abugidas. A difficulty in this case is keeping /eː/ and /aɪ/ and /oː/ and /aʊ/ distinct. Hindi uses /ə/ as the inherent vowel, but for Ayeri, /a/ is more suitable. Hence, I decided to use ⟨ॅ⟩ for /ə/, although that isn’t strictly necessary for the reason outlined above: in Ayeri’s native spelling, ⟨a⟩ or ⟨e⟩ are used respectively. Using the dentals series for all dental and alveolar sounds was considered more straightforward than distinguishing the two by spelling /ta da/ as dentals and /na sa la/ as retroflexes. Virama is needed for clarity.
- Added the acute-based length cyrillicization, modified description accordingly.
- Mongolian apparently uses ⟨ч⟩, ⟨ж⟩ for /tʃʰ/, /tʃ/. Thus, I guess it’s OK if I use ⟨ч⟩, ⟨ж⟩ for /tʃ/, /dʒ/ respectively.
- It was suggested to me to ignore the iotified vowels and go with a Serbian-like orthography, so ⟨а⟩, ⟨е⟩, ⟨и⟩, ⟨о⟩, ⟨у⟩ vs. ⟨ја⟩, ⟨је⟩, ⟨ји⟩, ⟨јо⟩, ⟨ју⟩. Diphthongs would also get spelled with ⟨ј⟩; vowel doubling would customarily indicate length.
