I like Castillian romanisation very much.  One of the offspring
languages from my lexicon project (S22) will use phonotactics and
romanisation similar to Náhuatl.  It will be an oligosynthetic
language.  Some sample words (which will change -- I'm currently
experimenting):

sphere            mitK)its)otK)         mitlitzotl
