Creating a Language, how hard can it be?
#7
more important than "making fancy letter combinations" for languages, think about the language being an extension of a human being.

For example, there is a reason why 'Mother' in many languages are rendered with starting 'ma': Ma, Mama (many languages, including English, Russian, Japanese), Madre (Spanish), Mãe (Portuguese), Mamo (Polonese), Mamma (Italy), Eomma (Korean, in this case the 'ma' appears on the end) and so on. The 'ma' syllable is the easiest sound to reproduce (just open and close your mouth while saying 'aaah', that will give you an approximated 'ma' sound). This sound is the most likely sound a newborn baby will make - it's a case of a word that was created 'naturally' to tailor to the speaker.

So, it's good to keep your head a little away from "lol I'll add a ton of unusual consonantal clusters such as TC". Use simpler forms for everyday words, and work your way up to the more abstract, complex words.
