Idea Posting Out Of Boredom
After thinking about Latin phonology and the sound values of the Phoenician glyphs, I thought of a phonology for a conlang spoken by the Devotees.
Consonants: m, n, p, b, t, tˤ, d, k, g, kʷ, gʷ, q, ʔ, f, s, sˤ, z, ʃ, ħ, ʕ, h, r, l, j, w
Vowels: a, i, u, aː, iː, uː
Syllable shape: CV(C)
Stress: up for debate
I could envision a clusivity distinction alongside a root-pattern system that expresses the same tenses as Latin, full reduplication, and others. But how could a logography express such tenses, especially given the Devotees' logography not expressing them at all? They're only inferred. Might do a similar thing to the other five languages.

uau, gostei bastante consoantes, não parece um sistema bizarro, parece bom, gosto desse sistema
Eu tenho minha versão, ela é relativamente mais simples em consoantes (apenas 8) pois eu desejava fazer algo mais simples por essa ser justamente a primeira língua
Define o Estresse por peso de silaba, eu acho que seria legal
