I think this is it... http://starling.rinet.ru (make sure you download and install a font called Times Roman Star (I think); Sergei ses his own phonological notations. I set the User Defined encoding in Internet Explorer and go from there.)

Aw, I had it (it's in some book called the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language or something like that). Or else I'd be glad to type it. It has over 100 consonants, easy; half of them are clicks. That same page shows Rotokas as having six consonants (for the record low), but someone told me it actually has eight, which would result in a tie with Hawai'ian.
