I was thinking of suggesting that, actually.  I need an excuse to polish
Rixuli.

Here's my bit, guessing pronunciations from language-names, in no
particular order:
Note: Any two consonants not explicitly separated by a vowel actually have
a voiceless schwa in between.  This can only occur between two voiceless
consonants; others gain a voiced schwa instead.  O isn't permitted to end
words, because it sounds too much like a lot of verbal aspects, so that
gains an -a as well.  X is /S/, c is /tS/, and I still need a symbol for
voiced x.  Hmm.  Those consonants that are in English dentals are
retroflex; Rixuli doesn't like the crunchy sound of dentals.

YHL, I hope you don't mind my borrowing your list.

Afar : Avara or Auara
Akte : Akte
Boreanesian : Voreanesiana
Brithenig : Varitenigi
Hanky Castilian : Hanaki Casatiliana
Hangkerimian : Hanagakerimiana, or perhaps Hanakerimiana
Ini : Ini
Kash : Kaxa (Hey, this looks really neat spelled 'Kxa', but Rixuli wouldn't
devoice a vowel.)
Kerno : Keranoa
Lyanjen : Lianajene
Lingua Fracta : Linagua Farakta
Lingua Franca : Linagua Faranaka
Moskian : Mosakiana
Mungayöd : Munagaiodoa or Munaiodoa
New Cartagenian : Niu (or Nu, depending on the sound of New) Karatageniana
Numidian : Numidiana
Nur-Ellen : Nuru-Elene or Nurelene, depending on if the word-separation's
pronounced
Punic : Vunika, Viunika perchance
Rokbeigalmki : Rokabeigalamaki (That gained a good load of syllables.)
Saalangal : Saalanagal or Saalanal
Skerre : Sakere
Talarian : Talariana
Tech : Teka or Teca, 'pending on if that ch is a glottal stop or something
similar, or a tS.
Telek : Teleke
Tepa : Teva
Tokana : Tokana (On the same note as Utakassi, I want to call this
Dogana... voicedness is good.  Maybe I just dislike that T-k thing going on
here.)
Vaiysi : Vaiisi
Vivo : Vivoa
Utakassí : Utakasi (I'm tempted to call this Udagasi; Rixuli likes its
voiced consonants.)
Ylank : Ilanaka
