That was all written in X-Sampa more or less. [q] is a voiceless uvular
stop.

As for the language it is a fusion of Japanese, Tundra Nenets, Selkup and
Mansi, with various features taken from each. The grammar and syntax are
mostly Japanese, but there are some extra "cases" developed from Nenets
postpositions, extra verb tenses and aspects as compared to
Japanese...actually about half the Nyenya'a clitics don't even exist in
Japanese afaik.
