It's uvular. All I can say is that your font does not support it. Mine does, so I can't catch these things.

That's really weird, I don't know why it's doing that, I can usually see most letters just fine. I'm trying to type an unvoiced uvular fricative and it's coming out just like a lowercase x like you said.

Not entirely happy with this one.

Partly Dananshan-inspired orthography. Had to shift around some fricatives and such.

Here's another take on this one:

/p pʰ t tʰ c cʰ k kʰ q qʰ ʔ/ p p t t c c k k q q ʔ
/ʦ ʦʰ ʧ ʧʰ/ z z č č
/ɸ θ s x χ h/ v r s j x h
/ɬ j w ʁ ɦ/ l j v x h
/m n ŋ/ m n ŋ

/i u/ i u
/ə/ e
/ɐ/ a

Whether a consonant is fortis (aspirated/fricative) or lenis (unaspirated/approximant) is indicated with diacritics on adjacent vowels: LaL FàL FâF LáF. If there are two consonants on the same side of a vowel, it seems the inner one of the two is always lenis, so in this case the diacritic applies to the second consonant, e.g. LLAL FLàL FLâLF LáLF.

Yeah, root structure is strictly C(L)V(L)C.
