Edit: I should probably note that I'm not the sole creator of this, it started out as a group project and the co-creator still makes contributions sometimes.
Anyway, the phonemes for this language are as follows (will arrange these properly soon):Consonants:
/m n/ <m n>
/p b t d k k/ <p b t d k q>
/f v s z ʒ h/ <f v s ś j h>
/l/ <l>
/ɹ/ <r>
/dʒ/ <g>
/w ʎ/
Vowels:
/i u/ <î u>
/ɪ/ <i>
/ei/ <é>
/ɛ œ ʌ/ <e o ù>
/æ ɐ/ <à a>
/oʊ aɪ ɛɹ ɔɹ/ <ö y r or>
Aside from a few rules/exceptions, which I'll get to in a moment, all of these correspond to a single letter and can be put together more or less arbitrarily.
As promised, said exceptions:
- The letter r corresponds to /ɹ/ after all vowels, but when placed after o/œ/ the two letters become /ɔɹ/.
- If the letter r directly follows another consonant and does not start a syllable, it's expressed as ɛɹ.
- When u or î (/u/ and /i/) is followed directly by another vowel, they become /w/ and /ʎ/ respectively. For example, "uu" would be pronounced /wu/.

Grammar/Syntax:
Pronouns
Accusative is actually (kind of) the base case. Each accusative pronoun has two letters. The first corresponds to person:
- 1st Person: m-
- 2nd Person: s-
- 3rd Person: l-
- Singular Animate: -i
- Singular Male*: -r
- Singular Female*: -a
- Singular Inanimate: -u
- Plural Animate: -y
- Plural Inanimate: -o
- General/Ambiguous**: -e
**has several uses, many of which are rather specific, but "lu" serves as a fourth-person pronoun
