Rayanese Vowel Inventory

Since I have been revising so much of Rayanese lately, I’ve been thinking about revising part of the phonology, specifically the vowel inventory.

Previously, these were the vowels:

Spelling X-Sampa
a a
e e
i i
o o
u u
ä { (American English cat)
ö 2
ü y
ï I
ë E

I want to get rid of the front rounded vowels, [2] and [y].  I will replace them with [O] and [U] but keep spelling the same.  I am undecided about a possible schwa [@].  I will also update my phonology page with some more information on diphthongs.
