I have begun work on a language called Aħkvm recently and have decided to bring it out to the good folks at Omniglot to add to. I will provide sounds and a few basic grammar rules and may add things occasionally, but the rest is up to you. Create words, grammar and other things. Anything si game so long as it does not conflict with posted stuff. Allons Nous!

T, /t/
Ţ, ţ /t͡s/
W, /v/
X, /ð/
Z, /ʒ/

/ʔ/ is not a vowel, and the orthography is quite unusual imo. People usually do not use diacritics if the one with no diacritics is unused.

I'm sorry, I forgot to check this over more thoroughly. Your IPA stuff for the consonants is good and I need to include N and H, although H is silent.

I will edit post haste.

That's an interesting consonant inventory.

funnily enough I got the idea for some of the words by typing English words using the Russian keyboard, transliterating them, and then altering them to sound legit.
P.S. bit of a typo, but the phoneme for ģ is /dʒ/ not /d/.
