Post your conlang's phonology

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

But you're not using any...

Explain what you mean by 'fixing'. And please stop writing Greek /f/s with <f>, they're <ph>s in English.

How ironic.

You lack a labialised-aspirated-palatalised series, and you expect me to take you seriously? DO YOU, PUNK?!

SHOULD I ALSO ADD A VELARIZED SERIES?

Hmm, hmmm, hmmmm, well I find the vowel inventory slightly exaggerated. I'd suggest this:

ɞ ɞˤ

That looks more plausible to me.

Can syllabic consonants have creaky voice?

Here's an idea I've been working with.
Consonants:
p t c k ʔ
ɸ θ s ʃ~ɕ [ç] [x] h
m n ɲ ŋ
l j w
ʦ

([ç] and [x] are special allophones of h)

Vowels:

Oh, and maybe I'll post the phonology and orthography for my old kitchen sink language...

HM, HOW ABOUT A COMPROMISE LIKE THIS:

i iˤ y yˤ ɨ ɨˤ ʉ ʉˤ ɯ ɯˤ u uˤ
ɪ ɪˤ ʏ ʏˤ ɪ̈ ɪ̈ˤ ʊ̈ ʊ̈ˤ ʊ ʊˤ
e eˤ ø øˤ ɘ ɘˤ ɵ ɵˤ ɤ ɤˤ o oˤ
e̞ e̞ˤ ø̞ ø̞ˤ ə əˤ ɤ̞ ɤ̞ˤ o̞ o̞ˤ
ɛ ɛˤ œ œˤ ɜ ɜˤ ɞ ɞˤ ʌ ʌˤ ɔ ɔˤ
æ æˤ ɐ ɐˤ
a aˤ ɶ ɶˤ ä äˤ ɑ ɑˤ ɒ ɒˤ

THAT HAS BOTH OF THE ONES YOU SUGGESTED

I JUST DON'T WANT THE INVENTORY TO BE TOO SMALL, THAT MIGHT NOT BE REALISTIC
