The language with the least effort-demanding phonology ever!

There are five consonants:

• <m n> are straightforward [m n]. Free-standing <mm nn> are their syllabic counterparts.
• <h> is generally [ɦ]. Can become a voiceless nasal when occurring before the syllabic nasals. [j] is an acceptable variant before a vowel.
• <f> varies within the [ɸ ~ ʍ ~ β ~ w] ballpark. It does nor occur word-initially.
• <:> (yes, a colon) is a glottal stop [ʔ]. There is no contrast with a zero initial (never written in that position).

As well as one true vowel, written as <-> (a dash). The quality may be anything from a nasal shwa [ə̃] to your average [a]. There is contrastiv length, written by two dashes. Word-final vowels are not written.

Phonotactically, there are five consonant clusters in a vocalic context: <hm hn mm nn mf> and four that involve syllabic nasals: <hmm hnn hm: hn:>. The last two, as monosyllabic words, are the only words that may end in a consonant. Adjacent long or closed syllables are disallowed.
