/i a u/ <i a u>

length is distinguished on both consonants and vowels, except for /b d g gʷ ɢ w ɥ j/; and /h:/ is [χ:]. Long obstruents are typically accompanied by "tensing" which varies by speaker and dialect. Aspiration in the case of unvoiced long obstruents is common, but some speakers pronounce them as ejectives.

Only /a/ can appear after the glides /w j ɥ/, and when /i u/ occur before them they are typically merged into each other as respectively. When glides appear word finally or before a consonant, only /a/ can appear before them (i.e. a hypothetical word */gujgan/ is not possible). /i u/ are only slightly lowered after /ɢ/ and phonetic [χ: χʷ χʷ:]

Syllable structure is (C)V(C), medial consonant clusters are typically geminated consonants, but prenasalized stops are also common in this position, and several other clusters that I can't be bothered to specify are also allowed.

Length is indicated by doubling the letter. In digraphs only the first letter is doubled, e.g. /ɬɬ/ is written <lll>.

/p t c cʷ k/
/pʰ tʰ cʰ cʷʰ kʰ/
/ɸ f s ç çʷ x h/
/l ʟ/

/e o/
/ɛ ɔ ʌ/
/a ɑ/

Tones:
˥ ˧ ˩ ˥˧ ˧˥ ˧˩


Phonotactics:
(C)V(V)(C)
Only nasals and plain stops are permitted codas

/β ð/ cannot occur next to /u ɯ/
/ʕ~ʁ~ðˁ/ cannot occur next to /ɑ/

/l/ cannot occur next to /l̩/
/ʝ ʝʷ/ cannot occur next to /i y/

Choice of /ħ ʕ/ vs. /χ ʁ/ vs. /θˁ ðˁ/ depends on dialect.

Onsets:
consonant
stop + fricative
stop + /l/
vl fricative + v fricative

Codas:

consonant
plosive + vl fricative
v fricative + consonant

Vowel harmony:
If the final vowel is /i y z̩/, all vowels must be /i y z̩ l̩ a/
If the final vowel is /ɯ u l̩/, all vowels must be /ɯ u z̩ l̩ a/
If the final vowel is /e ø/, all vowels must be /e ø z̩ l̩ a/
If the final vowel is /ɤ o ɑ/, all vowels must be /ɤ o z̩ l̩ a/
If the final vowel is /ə/, there is no vowel harmony.

Quantumese with no digraphs.

Sorry it's on Google Drive, the default font here plays horribly with multiple diacritics. Also, your sample doesn't have any nasal vowels for whatever reason.

/p t tɬ tʃ c k q ʔ/
/ɸ θ ɬ ʃ ç x χ h/
/β ð ɮ ʒ ʝ ɣ ʁ ɦ/
/N/

/i u ə a/

The voiced fricatives have approximant allophones in the coda, and after an obstruent (voiced fricatives do not count): [β̞ ɹ l ɹ~j j ɰ~w ʁ̞ ɦ̞]. In these envrionments, /ʒ/ is [j] next to /i/, and [ɹ] otherwise, and /ɣ/ is [w] next to /u/, and [ɰ] otherwise.
/N/ assimilates in PoA to a following consonant, and is [n] before /i/, [ŋ] before /u/, [ɴ] before /a/, and [m] before /ə/.
