My inspiration comes from Chuckchansi Yokut and these videos:
I'm thinking that the speakers could be similar to the Nhlogqwa Islands, but their culture could be based around gambling. I'm also thinking that alongside the ejectives and glottalized consonants, there could be pharyngealized ones and a consonant harmony system. I might also hope to aim for about 25 consonants since that falls in between 23(the number of Ilothwii's consonants) and 27(the number of consonants in the Chukchansi dialect). Maybe there were that many at first until sound changes kicked in leading to the formation of the same glottalized consonants of Yokut and some pharyngealized consonants.
First form:
Consonants: p, b, t, d, k, g, ʔ('), m, n, ŋ(ng), pʰ(ph), tʰ(th), kʰ(kh), s, ħ(hh), h, j, l, w, ɕ(c), ts, tɕ(tc), ç(hj), ɬ(hl), tɬ(tl)
Vowels: i, iː(ii), u, uː(uu), e, eː(ee), o, oː(oo), ə(au), a, aː(aa)
