That would be unfortunate (pun not intended).  Currently, 
Fortunatian is intriguingly exotic, yet pronounceable and 
aesthetically tolerable to me.  It would forfeit those two
latter properties if it picked up emphatics, which are far
beyond my articulatory comprehension and curdle my blood
with their hateful ugliness.  ;oP  But don't let that stop
you.  In the end, it's the language itself which will
decide...
