I can't resist rambling about what kind of a language /I/ would create: 1) The native consonants of Finnish (h j k l m n p r s t v ng/ŋ) and the vowels of Arabic (a u i), as a compromise between not having too many sounds that could be difficult to produce or even distinguish to some, and not having so few that you can't have recognizable loanwords. 2) Syllables CV or CVC 3) No grammar features such as tenses, cases, moods, or even number, because many Asian languages lack them, like classical Chinese for a very literary example, plus they are just an unnecessary detriment to learning and speaking. I'm not sure what the grammar that is left should look like but it should be minimal. 4) Vocabulary sourced from Estonian, since it won't be too terribly mangled by the reduced alphabet, as a Uralic language is equally obscure to everyone else yet has an extensive living vocabulary, and since nobody is likely to go "well why don't I then just learn Estonian instead", especially if they've tried to read an Estonian grammar book.
