I think I finally came up with one
/m n ɲ ŋ/ m n ñ ŋ
/p b t d c ɟ k g q ʔ/ p b t d ţ ḑ k g q ɜ
/f v θ ð s z ʃ ʒ ɕ ʑ ç ʝ x ɣ χ ʁ ħ ʕ h/ f v þ ð s z š ž ś ź ŝ ẑ x ɣ x̌ ɣ̌ ḥ ɛ h
/ts dz tʃ dʒ tɕ dʑ cç ɟʝ kx gɣ/ c ʒ č ǯ ć ʒ́ ĉ ʒ̂ ꝁ ǥ
/l ɭ~ɽ~ɖ~ɖʲ ʎ ɾ r j ɥ w ɰ/ l ḍ ǰ r ɍ j ĵ w ŵ
/ɬʲ~ʎ̝̊ ɮʲ~ʎ̝/ ƚ ⱡ

/i iː y yː u uː ɪ ɪː ʊ ʊː e eː ø øː o oː ə əː ɛ ɛː œ œː ʌ ʌː ɔ ɔː a aː/ i ī y ȳ u ū į į̄ ų ų̄ e ē ö ȫ o ō ä ǟ ę ę̄ ǫ̈ ǫ̈̄ ą̈ ą̈̄ ǫ ǭ a ā

Thing is
Consonants
The open e and reverse open e idea came from Tamazight and other Berber languages.

Vowels
Macron for length
Ogonek for lowering.

A different approach, using diacritics:

/m n̪ n ɳ ɲ ŋ/ ⟨m ṋ n ṇ ń ŋ⟩
/p b pʰ t̪ d̪ t̪ʰ t d tʰ ʈ ɖ ʈʰ k g kʰ/ ⟨p b ph t d th ṭ ḍ ṭh k h kg⟩
/t͡ɕ d͡ʑ t͡ɕʰ ʈ͡ʂ ɖ͡ʐ ʈ͡ʂʰ t͡ɬ t͡ɬʰ ʈ͡ꞎ ʈ͡ꞎʰ/ ⟨ć đ ćh č j čh ƛ ƛh ƛ̣ ƛ̣h⟩
/f v s z ʂ ʐ ɬ ꞎ ɣ x/ ⟨f v s z š ž ł ł̣ ɣ x⟩
/ɾ ɽ l ɭ/ ⟨r ṛ l ḷ⟩
/w j / ⟨w y⟩

/a e i u aː eː iː uː/ ⟨a e i u ā ē ī ū⟩

We haven’t had a language with clicks here in a while:

Non-click consonants:
/m n̪ n ɲ ŋ ŋʷ/
/mˀ n̪ˀ nˀ ɲˀ ŋˀ ŋʷˀ/
/p t̪ t c k kʷ q ʔ/
/pʼ t̪ʼ tʼ cʼ kʼ kʷʼ qʼ/
/pʰ t̪ʰ tʰ cʰ kʰ kʷʰ qʰ/
/ᵐb ⁿd̪ ⁿd ᶮɟ ᵑg ᵑgʷ/
/b d̪ d ɟ g gʷ/
/f θ s χ~ʁ h/
/v ð z/
/j ɰ w/
/jˀ ɰˀ wˀ/
/l ʎ/
/lˀ ʎˀ/
/ɬ tɬ tɬʼ/

Click consonants:
/ǀ ǃ ǂ ǁ/, with the following manners of articulation:
  • Tenuis: /ǀ ǃ ǂ ǁ/
  • Nasalised: /ᵑǀ ᵑǃ ᵑǂ ᵑǁ/
  • Glottalised: /ᵑǀˀ ᵑǃˀ ᵑǂˀ ᵑǁˀ/
  • Aspirated: /ǀʰ ǃʰ ǂʰ ǁʰ/
  • Voiced: /ᶢǀ ᶢǃ ᶢǂ ᶢǁ/
  • Fricated: /ǀ͡x ǃ͡x ǂ͡x ǁ͡x/
  • Ejective-contour: /ǀ͡qʼ ǃ͡qʼ ǂ͡qʼ ǁ͡qʼ/
Vowels: /a e i o u ə ã ə̃ ĩ ũ a͡i e͡i ə͡i ə͡u o͡u/
(long vowels can also occur, but only as sequences of vowels across two syllables)

Phonotactics: (C)V(C), where click consonants cannot appear at the end of a word. Consonant clusters are forbidden, even between syllables. Alveolar and lateral clicks can only occur before one of the back vowels /ə o u ə̃ ũ ə͡i ə͡u o͡u/.

Sample text:
(Made up, since this is just a phonology)

For the consonants I used a variant of Pinyin, similar to that used for Nuosu and Naxi:

/p t tɬ ts ʈ tʂ tɕ k q ʔ/ ⟨b d dl z rd zh j g ǧ ʔ⟩
/p’ t’ tɬ’ ts’ ʈ’ tʂ’ tɕ’ k’ q’/ ⟨pʼ tʼ tlʼ cʼ rtʼ chʼ qʼ kʼ ǩʼ⟩
/tʰ tɬʰ tsʰ ʈʰ tʂʰ tɕʰ kʰ qʰ/ ⟨t tl c rt ch q k ǩ⟩
/b d dɮ dz ɖ dʐ dʑ/ ⟨bb dd ddl zz rdd rr jj⟩
/ɓ ɗ/ ⟨ƃ ƌ⟩
/f ɬ s ʂ ɕ x χ/ ⟨f lh s sh x h ȟ⟩
/v ð l r j ɣ ʁ/ ⟨v đ l r y ḥ ḥ̌⟩
/m n ɳ ɲ ŋ/ ⟨m n rn ny ŋ⟩

Ambiguous grapheme sequences may be broken up by apostrophes, e.g. /rɖa/ ⟨r’rdda⟩, /d͡ʐda/ ⟨rr’dda⟩

Vowels: /i y ɨ˞ ẽ ɚ ɤ o õ ɛ œ ɛ̃ œ̃ ɜ̃ ɔ̃ a a˞ ã/ ⟨i ü ir én ér ö ó ón e ë en ën ön on a ar an⟩
(I feel that there should be an ⟨o⟩ as well, in addition to the ⟨ö ó ón ön on⟩ already present, but I’m not sure where to put it…)

Tones are marked with tone numbers at the end of each syllable: /11 23 14 54 342 512/ ⟨-¹ -² -³ -⁴ -⁵ -⁶⟩. ⟨-¹⟩ may be omitted at the end of a word, otherwise all tones are marked.

Sample text:
/pðã14 ŋsrœ̃342 di23ɗɤ11 mrtʂ’k’ɛ512 ɕvõ11 dza11 tʰa11ʂɖɚ11 ti512 ʂqʰœ̃14 ŋɛ11 ɣu54 ɳɖra14lɨ˞512 dɮɛ11 ʔny11 sχɳdʐo512/
⟨bđan³ ŋsrën⁵ ddi²ƌö mrchʼkʼe⁶ xvón zza ta¹shrddér ti⁶ shǩën³ ŋe ḥu⁴ rnrd’dra³lir⁶ ddle ʔnü sȟrnrró⁶⟩

(Note: this sample text contains a vowel /u/ (in /ɣu54/) which is unlisted in the vowel list above. I have transcribed it with ⟨u⟩ for now.)

There is no tone or quantity.

Note that the only permissible codas are /h ʔ ɴ ɻ w j/, and /ɴ/ never appears in syllable onsets. The syllable structure is C(j)V(C). Note that before coda /ɻ j/ the only permissible vowels are /ɛ e ø i y ie yø æˤ ɛˤ œˤ eˤ øˤ iɛˤ yœˤ/ and before coda /w/ the only permissible vowels are /ɑ ɤ o ɯ u ɯɤ uo ɑˤ ʌˤ ɔˤ ɤˤ oˤ ɯʌˤ uɔ/. Also note that diphthongs may not follow /j/ which follows another consonant.
