Sounds like we have had similar inspirations for the phonology
of our languages. The vowel system for Boreanesian is inspired
by Ilocano, and is very likely similar to Itawes since Ilocano
and Itawes are related, no? Minor and major syllables in Boreanesian
is inspired by the Austro-Asiatic languages. The phonotactic and
moraic structure of Boreanesian is inspired by Japanese.

But my phonological inspiration is not just limited to Asia. The
prosodical feature of slack vs stiff voicing was originally inspired
by Danish stoed, though the way it exists in Boreanesian parallels
the Austro-Asiatic languages much better. AFAIK, one truly non-Asian
inspiration that I have had is nasal harmony, which is inspired by
the nasal harmony from Amazonian languages.
