That wouldn't work - we'd just dust off some conproject, rid it of the most
blatant irregularities and try to pass it off as a new auxlang!

My humble contribution is Primitive Azainic, whose very simple phonemic
inventory is given below:

Vowels:

i a u
ai au

Consonants:

p  t  k
b  d  g
ph th kh
bh dh gh
m n
l r
s z h

_ph_ etc represent aspirated stops.

                                                         Andreas

PS And yes, I'm joking. Voiced aspirated stops aren't exactly what you'd
have in the inventory of the ideal IAL.
