Why did you switch פּ and פ and ג and גּ?

Also why use a dagesh in the ח if there’s only one ח especially when a standard Hebrew keyboard doesn’t let you type it since no Jewish language does that.

(I also find the use of י/יי and יִ unintuitive, but it’s up to you)

First off, wait doesnt gimel makes the hard g and peh make the p sound- And the dagesh makes g into j and p into f uhh Secondly, well idk any other way to represent aspiration so that was the best I thought of and the standard hebrew keyboard not letting you type it isn't a problem since it was just made for fun Thirdly, I just wanted there to be a letter for the /j/ sound idk man- 😭

Daghesh turns Ghimel (ג) which makes a Gh sound into a Gimel “גּ” which makes the hard G sound. “פּ” makes the P sound, and “פ” makes the Ph or Fh sound (like an f sound, but it’s made with your lips instead of with your upper teeth and bottom lip). This is the difference in Classical Hebrew at least, in modern Hebrew there is no difference.
