You're using the slashes to indicate written letters, which is
confusing, since they are traditionally used to show phonemic
transcription (usually SAMPA-X). So your Mujai {au} is pronounced as
the {ow} in "cow", or like the /aU/ in "cow".

That doesn't help much... is it /i@/ or /ia/ or /e6/ or what? How about
some SAMPA?

Hmmm, the three-vowel approach looks interesting; apart from that, it's
pretty standard. What kind of syllable structure and consonant clumping
is allowed? Would sprazzbgwairnst be a valid word? ;-)
And I wonder what the grammar is like.
