You might try Merritt Ruhlen's _A Guide to the Languages of the
World_.  The copy of it that I have was published by the Stanford
Language Universals Project in the '70s, but I think it has been
released by a "real" publisher more recently.  He gives the inventory
of vowel _phonemes_, which may or may not help you.
