Interesting. Looks kind of Berber.

Nasal stops: /m n ɲ ŋ/
Voiced prenasalized stops: /mb nd ɲɟ ŋg/
Voiced stops: /b d ɟ g/
Voiceless unaspirated stops: /p t c k ʔ/
Voiceless aspirated stops /pʰ tʰ cʰ kʰ/
Voiced prenasalized affricates: /ndz ɳdʐ ɲdʑ/
Voiced affricates: /dz dʐ dʑ/
Voiceless unaspirated affricates: /ts tʂ tɕ/
Voiceless aspirated affricates: /tsʰ tʂʰ tɕʰ/
Voiceless fricatives: /s ʂ ɕ h/
Voiced fricatives: /z ʐ ʑ/
Liquids: /ɻ l/
Semivowels: /w j/

Close vowels: /i u/
Close-mid vowels: /e o/
Mid vowels: (ə)
Open-mid vowels: /ɛ ɔ/
Open vowels: /a/

Example

/leŋ lɔ ɻəklan ɟe na ɻwak ɻəklan ɻəɟap ja ma ‖ kʰah leŋ sahjah blu ja ŋwah juh /

Phonotactics

Initial syllables may have one or more prefixes of the form ({p, t, k, s, b, d, g, m, ɻ, l, ʔ})ə.
The syllable structure is K({ɻ, l})({w, j})V({p, t, k, m, n, ŋ, h, ɻ, l}).

K is all consonants except {ɻ, l, w, j}.
/ʔ/ cannot be preceded or followed by any consonants.
/ɻ/ does not follow nasals, coronals, or palatals.
/l/ does not follow nasals, coronal plosives, retroflexes, alveolopalatals, or palatals.
/j/ does not follow alveolopalatals, palatals or velars.
/w/ does not follow labials.
Consonants are not found in the same syllable before prenasalized plosives.
Geminates are not allowed; if a geminate were to form, it would be reduced to a short consonant.

Phonology

Coda stops are unreleased and may be realized as glottal stops, especially word-finally.
/hɻ/ > [ɻ̥]
/hl/ > [ɬ]
/hj/ > [ç]
/hw/ > [ʍ]
Two adjacent identical vowels merge into a single vowel
/ai/ or /ae/ or or /aɛ/ > [ɛ]
/ɛi/ or /ɛe/ or > [e]
/ei/ > [e]
/i/ or /e/ or /ɛ/ before another vowel of equal or lower height becomes [j], except after an alveolopalatal or palatal or /w/ or /j/, where it becomes ∅, or after a velar, where it becomes ∅ and palatalizes the velar
/au/ or /ao/ or /aɔ/ > [ɔ]
/ɔu/ or /ɔo/ > [o]
/ou/ > [o]
/ɛu/ or /ɛo/ > [jɔ] , except after an alveolopalatal or palatal or /w/ or /j/, where it becomes [ɔ], or after a velar, where it becomes [ɔ] and palatalizes the velar
/eu/ > [jo] , except after an alveolopalatal or palatal or /w/ or /j/, where it becomes [o], or after a velar, where it becomes [o] and palatalizes the velar
/ɔi/ or /ɔe/ > [wɛ], except after a labial or /w/ or /j/, where it becomes [ɛ]
/oi/ > [we], except after a labial or /w/ or /j/, where it becomes [e]
/u/ or /o/ or /ɔ/ before another vowel of equal or lower height becomes [w], except after a labial or /w/ or /j/, where it becomes ∅

Modal, breathy, and creaky voice are distinguished on vowels, as are high, mid, and low tones. There's probably some kind of tone sandhi, but I haven't decided on what yet. Modal and breathy voiced vowels also distinguish nasalization.

Only CV syllables are allowed.

But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.

/tɕʰɛ́k tɕɛ́p/

This has the following phoneme inventory:

Syllables have the maximal structure (C)(C)CV(C) but most syllables have one to two consonants in the onset.

Syllables can have one of four tones, low, mid, high, and mid-rising.

The following phonemes can be found in onsets:

voiced nasals: m n ɲ ŋ
voiceless nasals: m̥ n̥ ɲ̊ ŋ̊
unaspirated voiced stops: b d ɟ g
unaspirated voiceless stops: p t c k q ʔ
aspirated voiced stops: bʰ dʰ ɟʰ gʰ
aspirated voiceless stops: pʰ tʰ cʰ kʰ qʰ
unaspirated voiced affricates; dz dʐ dʑ dɮ
unaspirated voiceless affricates: ts tʂ tɕ tɬ
aspirated voiced affricates: dzʰ dʐʰ dʑʰ dɮʰ
aspirated voiceless affricates: tsʰ tʂʰ tɕʰ tɬʰ
voiced fricatives: ʐ ʑ ɮ ʁ (note that ʐ ʑ ɮ only exist as second elements in clusters)
voiceless fricatives: ʍ s ʂ ɕ ɬ ç h
voiced liquids: ɻ l ʎ
voiceless liquids: ɻ̥
semivowels: w j

The following clusters can be found in onsets:

ʍɻ sɻ ɕɻ çɻ
mɻ m̥ɻ
ml m̥l
bɻ bʰɻ pɻ pʰɻ
bl bʰl pl pʰl
bj bʰj pj pʰj
bʐ bʰʐ pʂ pʰʂ
bʑ bʰʑ pɕ pʰɕ
bʑɻ bʰʑɻ pɕɻ pʰɕɻ
bɮ bʰɮ pɬ pʰɬ
nɻ n̥ɻ
nl n̥l
dɻ dʰɻ tɻ tʰɻ
dzɻ dzʰɻ tsɻ tsʰɻ
dʑɻ dʑʰɻ tɕɻ tɕʰɻ
ɲɻ ɲ̊ɻ
ɲl ɲ̊l
ɟɻ ɟʰɻ cɻ cʰɻ
ɟl ɟʰl cl cʰl
ŋɻ ŋ̊ɻ
ŋl ŋ̊l
gɻ gʰɻ kɻ kʰɻ
gl gʰl kl kʰl
gj gʰj kj kʰj
ʁɻ qɻ qʰɻ
ʁl ql qʰl

There are the following "non-breathy"* short monophthongs:
a ɛ œ e ø i y ɒ ɔ o u

and the following "non-breathy"* long monophthongs:
aː ɛː œː eː øː iː yː ɒː ɔː oː uː

and the following "breathy"* diphthongs (and one monophthong):
ɐ ɛə œə eə øə ɪə ʏə ɒə ɔə oə ʊə

* They really are not distinguished by breathiness, as breathiness was lost historically.

"Non-breathy" syllables have either mid, high, or mid-rising tone; mid-rising tone is found where mid tone was originally but there was a coda stop /p t k/; however, syllables gained extra coda plosives through the reduction of following syllables, allowing syllables ending in plosives to have mid tone as well.

"Breathy" syllables have low or high tone; low tone in "breathy" syllables correspond to mid tone in non-breathy syllables. It should be noted that there is no equivalent to mid-rising tone in breathy syllables, since breathy syllables originally had coda /h/. However, due to sound change there are now syllables ending in /h/ which did not originally have coda /h/ (and indeed original coda /h/ was lost entirely aside from its imparting breathiness on vowels, and through that causing the generation of centralized vowels and modifying tone).

Long vowels arose from the elision of original coda /ɻ l/; however, these consonants can still arise, after short vowels, due to vowels in following syllables turning them into onsets, and then later getting elided, leaving them as codas again. These can also be found before various consonants, due to following syllables losing their nuclei and codas and leaving their onsets as new codas for the preceding syllable.

There are the following codas:
m n ɲ ŋ p t c k q ʂ ɕ h ɻ l ʎ w j

Here is an example:

/māŋ pɛ́ʂ ɻā kján ʔáɻ jɛ̄ cʰlɛ́n ʔáŋ kján qát jɛ̄ dʐā ɻā kján ʔáɻ jɛ̄ ʁɔ̄p jø̄ qʰá có pjɐ̀ jɛ̄/

(C₁)V(C₂), where C₁ is any consonant (∅ is realised as [ʔ]) and C₂ is any consonant except /kʷ kʷʰ kʷʼ v j/. Onset /z/ occurs only in borrowings. The realisation of coda aspirated and glottalised consonants varies between dialects. Coda /pʰ tʰ cʰ kʰ/ might be realised as [ʰp ʰt ʰc ʰk], [ɸp θt çk xk], [ɸ θ ç x], [h s ʲs~ʲx h], [Vːp Vːt Vːc Vːk], low tone, or some mix of those. Coda /pʼ tʼ cʼ kʼ/ might be realised as [ʔp ʔt ʔc ʔk], [ʔə̆p ʔə̆t ʔə̆c ʔə̆k], or high tone.

Stress is on the penultimate syllable.
