Just counted, and Maggel has at least 60 consonants (I counted palatalised
consonants in it, because not all consonants can be palatalised, but I didn't
count tension and gemination, which are phonemic but can apply to any
consonant. So you can directly multiply the figure by 4 ;))) ). And the funny
part is: Maggel doesn't have to resort to ejective, emphatic or whatever
strange consonants for it (not even clicks). Only with pulmonic consonants it
manages to get to that figure! :))
