The first thing I think is you've obviously done a lot of conlangs! The
second thing is: what phonetic transcription are you using? The only ones I
know are ASCII-IPA and The "Kolagian Phonetic Alphabet". I don't recognise
some of your signs from either. Does this list have a standard
transcription?
