According to Don Blaheta's page on ASCII IPA representations, the closest=
thing to that is
/K\/, which is a voiced Alveolar lateral fricative (and since you

It's looks quite interesting, although I think I would personally have to=

detailed study than just a few minutes to give a full answer to that ques=

have you
considered making a distinctive series of aspirated consonants in contras=

nonaspirated ones? That might fit in with the alienness of it, but also a=

a little more phonological freedom in which to work...
