A naming language because I wanted one with the non-cardinal vowels instead.

Phonology

Vowels

Phonemic Vowels
front back
near-close ɪ (i) ʊ (u)
open-mid ɛ (e) ʌ (a)

Romanization in parentheses.

Consonants

voiced m (m) n (n) ɳ (nr) ɲ (ny) ŋ (ng) (ɴ̟) (nn)

Obstruent glottalized ˀp ('p) ˀt ('t) ˀc ('cy) ˀk ('k) ˀq ('q)
