I suppose it could have been /w/, but it doesn't look right in clusters. I could edit it in for syllable initial /w/.

I would have put this in the random phonology thread, but I found it quite hard to Romanise, so it's here. It's some kind of cross between Greenlandic, Mayan and something Amazonian maybe?

/p t s k q (ʔ)/
/ɓ ɗ t͡sʼ kʼ qʼ/
/β ɾ j ɣ (ʁ)/
What I've called /ʁ/ never actually shows up, but makes analysis of the vowel, hiatus and geminates much easier. If you believe in /ʁ/ you can also analyse /ʔ/ as an empty onset of you wish.

/i iː u uː/
/ə ə̃/
/a aː ã ãː/

Syllable structure is CV(R), with R being the third, voiced row of the consonant chart below, and epenthetic /ə/ is made liberal use of to enforce this. Stress falls on the rightmost long vowel, or the penult (the antupenult if it contains /ə/) otherwise. /ə/ is mostly epenthetic, but it can occur in otherwise legal sequences, such as /ˈtiʁə/ [t͡sʰeːə̯]. /ʔ/ can't occur after consonants, but is allowed between vowels and word intially

Allophony

• Lengthen short vowels in open stressed syllables
• Epenthesise /ə/ wherever needed for syllable structure
• If you don't believe in /ʔ/, insert [ʔ] now before hiatus starts appearing
• If some morphology or something put an /ʁ/ word initially or after a consonant, it merɡes with /q/ here
• Spread nasality rightwards until blocked by a voiceless consonant. /ɓ ɗ j/ become [m n ɲ] before a nasal vowel, and /β ɾ/ become [m n] in coda after one. Of these [n] engages in total POA assimilation, but [m] only does so sporadically¹
• /t d/ assibilate to [t͡s d͡z] after /i/
• Uvulars cause preceding [a i u] to back to [ɑ e o], and the same for their long and nasal equivalents. Similarly they cause following [a i u] to become [ɑ əi̯ əu̯] and when these effects are combined, an even more extreme [ɑ ə̯ɛ ə̯ɔ] result
• A following /t d ɗ s t͡sʼ j/ causes /ə/ to front to [i], and a following uvular causes it to lower to [a], with emaining /ə/ realised as an ultra-short [ə̆]. The same processes apply to /ə̃/
• Coda /j/ becomes [s] before a voiceless stop. Otherwise /j ʁ/ delete entirely: word finally, they cause compensatory lengthening on short vowels², but word internally they cause [p t t͡s s k q ɓ ɗ t͡sʼ kʼ qʼ β ɾ j ɣ m n ɲ] to geminate to [ppʰ ttʰ tt͡sʰ ss kkʰ qqʰ pp tt tt͡s kk qq ɸɸ ʂʂ ɕɕ xx mm nn ɲɲ]. /j/ also deletes intervocalically when after to any vowel quality but [a ɑ ə̆]
• Unnasalised coda /β/ is dropped before [u], but otherwise vocalises to [u̯]. /əβ/ ends up as [u]
• Coda /ɣ/ causes [p t t͡s s k q ɓ ɗ t͡sʼ kʼ qʼ β ɾ j ɣ m n ɲ] to [xp xt xt͡s ss xk χq xp xt xt͡s xk χq ɸɸ ʂʂ ɕɕ xx mm nn ɲɲ]
• Before high vowels /ɓ ɗ/ tend to be realised as [b l]
• Word initially [β ɾ j] fortate to [b d d͡ʑ]. [d͡zi] assibilates as [t͡si] does. These processes may also occur in the onset of a stressed syllable. Voiceless stops may be slightly aspirated in the same environments
• Word initial and intervocalic [s] is realised as [h~∅]

This should leave a surface inventory of the following, if you want an easier phonetic orthography
[m n ɲ (ŋ) (ɴ)]
[ppʰ ttʰ tt͡sʰ kkʰ qqʰ]
[pp tt tt͡s kk qq]
[pʰ tʰ t͡sʰ kʰ qʰ]
[p t t͡s k q ʔ]
[s x (χ) h]
[ɓ ɗ t͡sʼ kʼ qʼ]
[b d d͡z d͡ʑ]
[β ɾ j ɣ]
[ɸɸ ss ʂʂ ɕɕ xx]
[l]
(Bracketed phones only occur as the first element of a cluster due to POA assimilation)

[i (iːu̯) əi̯ (əːy̯) əu̯ u]
[e ə̯ɛ (ə̆) ə̯ɔ o]
[a (aːu̯) ɑ (ɑːɔ̯)]
(with length and nasality on everything but the bracketed phones, which only have a nasal version, but I'm not writing everything out 4 times)

¹ And even when it does, blocks uvular-conditioned vowel lowering
² The [i a u] from /ə/ are unaffected by this lengthening, but this messes up the ordering

• Uvulars cause preceding [a i u] to back to [ɑ e o], and the same for their long and nasal equivalents. Similarly they cause preceding [a i u] to become [ɑ əi̯ əu̯] and when these effects are combined, an even more extreme [ɑ ə̯ɛ ə̯ɔ] result

You wrote "preceding" in both places ─ was this a typo?
