It's a modified version of jan Misali's tk pn.

When placed at the ends of words, . and : function as normal punctuation marks. When directly before a word, : marks a proper noun. When directly before a punctuation mark, . means that the punctuation mark that follows should be interpreted as a punctuation mark and not a syllable. When directly before a non-punctuation mark, . indicates that the symbol that follows should be read as a single sound in the IPA. So for example, yupekosi is written ".y0BHs".

Example:

ijo Lipi li lon ma Jojalan, li moku e kili pi loje laso.
iJ :lP l R M :JY7., l OG e kl P ~y LS.
