While I'm sure these sounds are utterable, I find it highly unlikely
that they'd all find their way into the same language.

Just out of curiosity: Why no pharyngealied [q], and no ejective
pharyngealized [q]?

(I've now managed to get side-tracked trying to pronounce an
ejective pharyngeal fricative.   Does it sound like a dog coughing?)

Another interesting point: Why aren't you sure if you're going to
add nasals?   Do you dislike them?   Ooh, maybe rather than having
nasal phonemes, you could have nasalized vowels, and then the
nasalization could spread (by some means) to the consonants, so
that, say, if a /t/ came in contact with a nasalized vowel it would
become [n].   That'd be interesting.
