(Consonants circled in pink are part of my lang’s phoneme inventory)

Despite phonetics and phonology being my favoured subjects in linguistics, I don’t really enjoy making fancy phoneme inventories and phonotactic constraints in conlanging when it’s just meant to be pretty rather than unique. There’s nothing too interesting about my inventory, a couple phonemes not in English, and a few big ones that are missing (p, b, g). In addition to those above I have unvoiced affricates at the dental, post-alveolar, and velar positions (‘ts’ , ‘ch’ , and ‘ks’/’x’ for the uninitiated). I’m planning on a palatalized and labialized  consonant series as well, but one might just be an allophonic variation. Haven’t decided yet.
