I'm doing this at work on my lunchbreak, so I don't have all my notes to
hand.  More on the Xinkutlan language (utl Xinkutlan) later! :)

First the Latin transcription, then the CXS value

Vowels:
a /a/ (shades into /&/ when unstressed)
e /e/
i /i/ (/y/ is also acceptable)
o /o/
u /u/

Consonants:

Stops:
p, b, t, d, k, g, q (all as CXS)
Nasals:
m, n (also both as their CXS values)
Fricatives:
s /s/
z /z/
c /S/
ll /K/
h /h/
Affricates:
ts /ts/
dz /dz/
x /tS/
tl /tK/
Lateral:
l /l/
(ll /K/ and tl /tK/)

Syllable structure is CV(C).  The only consonant clusters permitted are in
the middle of a word, when the first consonant of the cluster is a nasal
or /l/.
