Finished the orthography for the language I've been working on (described in the conlang thread "Logical Conlangs").
A few basic notes:
Acute accent indicates ejective (with exceptions), and long vowels
The Cyrillic soft sign indicates glottalization (like ejectives but for resonant consonants)
Umlaut indicates uvular sounds (as well as the glide versions of vowels)
Ogonek accent indicates allophony for the point vowels /a i u/.
Here's the basic orthography (affricates are simply put together from components):

Any opinions on using Cyrillic for a language that sounds like Salish? |

That it's a very likely alt-historical event. It could easily have happened if Russian North America had come a little further south and inland, and the Russians involved had been a bit more interested in writing to be read by the natives.
