May I assume that this is an affricate with [t] and
[K]? Sort of like the Welsh /ll/, but combined with
[t]? I, for one, love that sound; I've used it many
times in my languages.

Or, am I wrong? I don't really know what the [']
stands for; I use it myself to indicate the
glottalized consonants in my language, Gi-an-nain.

A distinction between bilabial and labiodental
fricatives? Madness!

Even more madness! Do you just _not_ get sore throats?

Again, excellent choice. Beautiful, those lateral
fricatives.

What sound does [P] represent?

Beautiful. Phonetically, I can't call clicks
'beautiful', but they're weird sounds, and to me, the
weird has a beauty of it's own.

I love this diphthong. I would never have thought of

It's spelled 'grammar'. And many languages here were
created during boring classes, so you're in good
company. I, for one, like your phonology; when you get
your grammar together, don't be greedy. Share it with
us.
