You're going to run into serious problems with languages like these:
Hmong. It has seven tones, syllables begin with consonant clusters like "np=
l"=20
and "qh", and there are no consonants at the ends of syllables (though some=
=20
vowels are nasal, which could be transliterated as "n").
Khoisan languages and Bantu languages that have borrowed clicks from them.
Ubykh and other northern Caucasian languages, which have huge consonant=20
inventories.
Georgian. Some consonant clusters violate Lojban phonotactics several times=
.
