Lexis demonstrated a second inventory, the example being originality and not copying from another inventory of an existing language. I decided to replicate it but with two additional phonemes.
Consonants: m, n, ɳ, ɲ, ŋ, p, b, t, tʼ, d, ʈ, ʈʼ, ɖ, c, cʼ, k, kʼ, g, s, ç, x, r, l, j, w
Vowels: i, iː, y, yː, ɨ, ɨː, ɯ, ɯː, u, uː, e, eː, o, oː, a, aː
I still need to decide on the syllable structure, which is currently (C)V, and I need to look back at the video for ideas.

He might post a new video on grammar, though I'm considering a language with the same tenses and aspects as Latin, though modified. I might also consider a language with just aspects and no tenses at all, like Ewe and the Maya languages. Of course, there is also what the culture of the speakers is like and their taxonomy. As for all the other languages, there are loanwords to account for, especially in terms of deciding which ones are part of which families. The next remaining concepts are for protolanguages, if I may point it out.
There's also the type of terrain that the speakers of this language would inhabit, as that will be important to the culture and taxonomy. It's a common thing for the languages of our world. There is also the theory that the geography of regions affects the phonological inventories of the languages the inhabitants of the region speak, which still needs to be tested.
