[wdojxlcl] Minimal phonetic

The consonants I speculate exist in most languages: pb m td n sz kg
Plus 5 vowels, so an alphabet of 15 letters total.  50 possibilities of a CV syllable, 5.64 bits.

Some languages do not distinguish voiced from unvoiced consonants, so 11 letters total and 30 syllables, 4.9 bits.

Previous vaguely similar.
