Phonology

Isanercent shares the same set of phonemes of German. Below is a description based on Wikipedia article.

Consonants

Vowels

• /ə/ is often realized as mid central unrounded [ə] and close-mid central unrounded [ɘ]. It occurs only in unstressed syllables, for instance in Isanercent [ˈɪzaˌnɛɐtsən]. If a sonorant follows in the syllable coda, the schwa often disappears so that the sonorant becomes syllabic, for instance [ˈɪzaˌnɛɐtsn̩]
• /ɐ/ is a common allophone of the sequence /ər/

Diphthongs

Phonemic

Phonetic

In the varieties where speakers vocalize /r/ to [ɐ] in the syllable coda, a diphthong ending in [ɐ̯] may be formed with every stressable vowel.

Romanization

While we can directly borrow German's orthography, seeing that we can improve its intuitivity, it is modified a little.
