Shall we revive this thread?

Proto-Western Yonutian

/p pʲ t tʲ ʈ tʃ tʂ k q/
/b bʲ d dʲ ɖ dʒ dʐ g/
/f fʲ s ʃ ʂ x/
/v vʲ z ð ʐ ʒ ʁ/
/l lʲ ɭ/
/m mʲ n nʲ ɳ/

/i u y e o ø æ ɔ a/

With contrastive vowel legnth, maximal syllable structure CVCCC, palatalization spreads backwards within a cluster. Primary stress penultimate, secondary stress on heavy syllables (those with a long vowel, or a sonorant in the coda). Various vowel reductions in unstressed syllables, in particular i > ɨ, {u o} > ɔ, {y ø} > ɵ, most everything else > æ.

And spedde as wel in love as men now do.

Final stress except for some clitics, which are here written as single consonants. Almost all unstressed syllables take epenthetic schwa (unwritten here), but unstressed əj əw don't contrast with unstressed /i u/ when those vowels do appear.
Voiceless nasals and implosives can't appear in unstressed syllables.

Instead of word-final -h -j -w -r (/r/ is realized [w] everywhere except after /a/, where it drops and conditions the tense allophone), an alternate analysis would double the vowel system. /ar ej ij uw/ could be analyzed as units. But the morphology is heavily reduplicative, and these glides do show up there: compare [mˀmˀek] 'hide' ~ [kəmˀmˀek] 'keep hiding', [ka:] 'count' ~ [wʊka] 'keep counting', [twɪʱ] 'be evil' ~ [tɐʜwɪʱ] 'keep being evil'.

Almost all unstressed syllables take epenthetic schwa <e> (but unwritten when voiceless and not conflicting with an existing digraph), but unstressed əj əw <i u> don't contrast with unstressed /i u/ when those vowels do appear.

Crap, it should read йвньуңбм. Your point still stands though. I think [jwˈɲũwm] is gonna look odd in any orthography to be honest.

Not kidding, I think this is one of the most unique orthographies I’ve devised for someone else’s language. Except maybe on the old zbb where I think I made one with 4 diacritics on one letter.

Here's my latest conlang idea:

Vowels: /i a e o u ɨ/ + length

Things that are definitely consonant phonemes: /m p b f t̪ d̪ s̪ n t d ɾ l k g x w j/
Things that may be phonemes or C+yod clusters: /mʲ pʲ bʲ fʲ βʲ~ɥ t̪s̪ z̪ ʃ ɲ tʃ ʎ/
Things that are allophones of NC clusters that may be becoming phonemised currently: /dʒ ŋ/

Relationship between all of the above: https://imgur.com/a/Tgo2jwu

To explain, palatalisation is jC/Cj cluster resolution, N-fortition is fortition after a nasal that may not be pronounced in the surface form due to vowel elision shennigans and lenition is, well, lenition before a plosive or a nasal in a cluster. All of the above processes are happening currently and are highly productive, plus the vowel elision resulted in, e.g., suffixes en- and ej- becoming n- and j- that are realised as modification of the following consonant in the surface form when preceding one.

Syllable structure is (C)V(C), at least in surface form. Language still prefers CV syllables, but not as much as it used to.
