How would a sneeze be written in IPA?

I recall from an old post that someone transcribed as: [ə̥↓ɲ̊ʷʰ], [ə̥::↓ʔʔŋ̥͋], [ə̥::↓ʔʔh̃ ], but could someone send an audio for what these all sound like IRL, because I have no idea.

New Combination Language.

I combined random vocab from thirty-two different languages.

You want to eat a woman.

Int akarer comer a zena.

After being told that the linguist who wrote the paper I'm reading is dumb because he didn't follow the IPA (re: used a spelling convention expected for the language family), I wrote a poem in my conlang

Balə conlanger sugoh klaka

Kənə təgo taqmoh dənga

Yə chumə bachə Wikipedia

Yə ingaq yə jah höq pada

Ahli chəndəkia pǫ kalöh pada

Padahal demə səumo hiduq blaja

Adoh, komə jangą angkoh

Sbənañə, kitə nsəmö ni bodoh.

“The conlangers are truly amusing;

When advised, they refuse to listen.

They read Wikipedia alone,

Yet believe themselves to be the most wise.

They outsmart even the smartest scholars,

Even though they have devoted lifetimes to learning.

Ah, let none among you be arrogant,

For in truth, we are all but fools.”

In search of the best possible word order

Tell me why your ŋ's word order is the superior method for delivering sequences of information into the reader's brain. Bonus points if your word order transcends space and time. Negative bonus points if your conlang has free word order. GIVE ME YOUR UNVARNISHED, PIG-HEADED CONVICTIONS.

AITA for wanting to have a word with an unvoiced nasal followed by a nasal vowel?

the proposed word is ahnỹ /a.n̊ĩ/, meaning wire, from ahn /an̊/ metal and hyny /hiɳ/ line.

I can actually pronounce it but is it overdoing it? like it almost feels like an intentional slight. it feels like the conlang equivalent of getting a cybertruck. like I'm already on thin ice because the language isn't tonal except for 2 diphthongs but literally both of these emerged naturally but like eugh ykwim

also it sounds like a sneeze
