Unnamed language:

/i~i: ɪ ʊ u~u:/

Syllable structure: (C(A))V((S)C), where C=consonant, A=approximant, V=vowel, S=sonorant

Notes on the allophony:
[i: u:] before vowels, otherwise. For some speakers, [i: u:] are realised as [ij uw].
[ɛ ɔ] in closed syllables, [e o] in open. For some speakers, [e o] are realised as [ei/eɪ ou/oʊ].
[ʔ] after a vowel, [ə] between two consonants, [əʔ] otherwise.
Aspiration is pre-vocalic.

You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.
Just one time.

V:
/a ə/

G:
/w j ɴ/

Syllables:
(C)V(G)(C)
· medial clusters: only -(G)(C)- permitted.

/a ə/ is realized as:
· [ɛ i] before palatals;
· [ʌ ɯ] before velars;
· [ɔ u] before labials.

/a ə/ are nasalized vowels before /ɴ/.

/ɴ/ is often assimilated or elided.

/ʁ/ is pronounced as [r] in many dialects.

Kazakh /qɑzɑq tɘlɘ/ - not sure if already posted but I thought, wow! look at that vowel inventory

/m n ŋ~ɴ/
/p b t d k g q ɢ/
/s z ʃ ʒ h/
/ɾ l j w/
The phonemes /f v ɕ tɕ x/ are recent borrowings from Russian.

-RTR /i̯ɘ y̯ʉ ɘ ʉ æ/
+RTR /u̯ʊ ə ʊ ɑ/
The two groups of vowels are used in vowel harmony, which apparently is based on a neutral vs retracted tongue root distinction.

If you cannot change your mind, are you sure you have one?

Here's a thread on Oscan.
