About Cheroukchigbuyandebele
As someone who doesn't understand very much about linguistics, I'm attempting to fuse what little I know from the wikipedia articles on the languages of Cherokee, Chukchi, Igbo, Buyang and Northern Ndebele together into an awful sandwich. Note: Progress will be extremely slow as is always the case with my dumb conlangs. .͜ .

Syllable Structure(C)(h/j/w)V(n), where /h/ can only occur after non-glottal voiceless plosives (essentially making them aspirated but unable to have /j/ or /w/ follow them) and arguably /n/; /j/ after p/b/m/(n/gn) (although arguably after d/t/ts/s/h/k); and /w/ after t/d/s/z (and arguably h/k). Many clusters create their own phones, and are equally able to be considered their own phonemes rather than clusters (although this is less frequently done for aspirated plosives). /n/ is the only consonant which may appear in coda position, although it is interchangeable with /ŋ/ (or /m/ before labial consonants).
(Note: h/j/w/n replaces aspiration, palatalization, labialization, and nasal vowels or plosives found in other languages; epenthesis may occur before nasalized consonants or syllabic nasals.)

Stress informationVaries; there is not a strong distinction between a high tone and a stressed syllable. Rising or falling tones from vowel hiatus could be analyzed as pitch accents.
Otheradjacent vowels that are similar (i.e. /ie/, /ou/) will undergo vowel assimilation and become long vowels. This can create long rising or falling tones. Very distinct vowels (such as /ai/, /io/) may be realized as distinct syllables.
