Sorry to say, Joersc, but an ideal lengue au frankenstein auxlang probably doesn't have clicks....Or phonemic word-initial glottal stops

Well, no syllable is allowed to start with a vowel, so /ʔale/ never contrasts with /ale/ (as you can see, ɂale comes from all/alle), so it's basically like the word-initial glottal stops in German and many other languages, it keeps the words apart. Also, clicks have been shown to be super-easy for English-speakers to distinguish, and since every language with a decent-sized phoneme inventory must have a few weird sounds, might as well pick the ones that'll be easy for people...
