Thanks for the script, it looks great!

Just one remark, which has little to do with the subject but it's better to
correct mistakes as soon as you see them. The stress marks of IPA
(transcribed in X-SAMPA as " and %) must appear *in front* of the stressed
syllable, *not* in front of the vowel of a syllable! That's because stress
is a prosodic feature, not a feature of a specific phonetic segment. So
"sabyukà" should be written in X-SAMPA [s6"bjuk@] (or [s6b"juk@] if the
syllable break is between the [b] and the [j]).

As for the program itself, it looks great! I'll try it sometime :)) .

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
