Change vowel system?

I am thinking of having just 9 vowels instead of 36.

I think that would be more realistic.

I am thinking of using a vowel system like Somali's.

I am thinking of having close, close-mid, and open-mid front unrounded and back rounded vowels, and close, mid, and open central unrounded vowels.

Thus the vowels would be:

close: [i] [ɨ] [u]

close-mid: [e] [o]

mid: [ɘ]

open-mid: [ɛ] [ɔ]

open: [ä] = [ɐ̞] = [ɑ̈]

Same vowels, different order:

front unrounded: [i] [e] [ɛ]

central unrounded: [ɨ] [ɘ] [ä]=[ɑ̈]=[ɐ̞]

back rounded: [u] [o] [ɔ]
