On the other hand, there doesn't seem to be too many Khoisanesque or Caucasoid Conlang phonologies around, except for that monster known as Tech (how's that to be pronounced, BTW?). Who had that idea for an anti-IAL, whiched have an humongous phonemic inventory as well as mind-wreckingly complex grammar? I propose the name "Antiugh" for it ... (Ugh is the utlimate IAL, because everything is Ugh.)
