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.
