Your phonetic inventory is almost identical to Pitakosilano, which has /o/
instead of /u/ and /n/ instead of /l/. Is this a strange coincidence or did
you look at Pitakosilano first? Just curious.
Your syllable patterns are very different, since Pitakosilano only allows
CV. You seem to use C(C)V(V)(C) as your syllable pattern, which gives the
language much greater variety, even given its pauce phonetic inventory (I
just made up 'pauce', as a backformation from 'paucity'). Are there any
restrictions on the distribution of the second consonant in C(C)...? Have
you written up your phonotactics yet?
