I sketched a sound system like this once. I started with /tS/. Then
added /ts/ and /dZ/ and /dz/. I kept adding different affricates till
I couldn't think of any more ways to move my tongue the I started with
palatalized stops like /tj/, /kj/, /dj/, /gj/ and palatalized affricates
and labialized some of them and added highly aspirated stops and
glottalized affricates and stops. I never did get around to vowels,
but what a jumble of aditorily similar sounds I had psuedo-discribed!
