Or it was meant to be. But it's no match for those Esmelthien just posted. Damn, now I want to make a conlang out of this.
Consonants
/m n~ŋ5/
/pʼ pʰ b̥1 tʼ3~kʼ4 kʼʷ2 tʰ3~kʰ4 d̥1,3~ɡ̊1,4 ʔ/
/p͡ɸʼ t͡sʼ k͜xʼ4/

/ɸ β s z ç3~x4 ʝ3~ɣ4 ɦ̥1/
/ɬ6~ʎ̝7~ɬˠ8/
/r/
/j ɥ ʍ ɰ w/
/l6~ʎ7~ɫ8/
1These are slack voiced. I don't know if ɦ̥ is actually possible.
2This could described as /kʼw/, but it's realized as [kʼʷ] while [kʼw] is not possible.
3Only occurs before front vowels or /ə/ in onset, and after front vowels or /n̩ r̩ l̩/ in coda.
4Only occurs before back vowels, syllabic consonants or glides in onset, and after back vowels or /ə m̩/ in coda.
5Only occurs in coda before velar consonants or after back vowels.
6Only occurs in coda or before /ə/.
7Only occurs before front vowels or /j ɥ/ in onset, or before [ç ʝ ʎ̝ ʎ] in coda.
8Only occurs before back vowels or /ʍ ɰ w/ in onset, or before velar consonants in coda.
Vowels
/i y ɯ u/
/e ø ɤ o/
/ə/
/ɛ ɔ/
/a ɒ/
Diphthongs
/ei øi øy ɤɯ ɤu ou/
/ai ɒu/
/eɯ oy/
/aɯ au ɒi ɒy/
Syllabic consonants
/m̩ n̩~ŋ̍1 r̩ l̩~ɫ̩2~ɬ̩3~ɬ̩ˠ2,3/
1Only occurs before velar consonants.
2Only occurs before or after velar consonants.
3Only occurs after voiceless consonants in accentless syllables.
Pitch accent
/◌́ ◌̀ ◌/
There are two kinds of accented syllables, ones with high and ones with low pitch. There can be only one high pitch in a word, and it falls on one of the two first syllables. Low pitches there can be several of, even if there is also high pitch in the word, and they can appear on any syllable.
Syllable structure
O(G)V(C)
O = any consonant
G = j ɥ ʍ ɰ w
V = any vowel, diphthong or syllabic consonant
C = m n~ŋ pʰ b̥ tʰ~kʰ d̥~ɡ̊ ʔ ɸ β s z ç~x ʝ~ɣ ɬ~ʎ̝~ɬˠ r l~ʎ~ɫ
Glides can not follow after an ejective.
Two glides can't appear next to each other.
An unrounded glide can't appear between two rounded phonemes (bilabial consonants, labialized consonants, m̩, rounded vowels), except between two nucleuses.
Syllabic consonants don't occur before or after corresponding non-syllabic consonants.
