Somebody please correct me if I goof on this, but as I recall, palatalized /n/
in medieval Spanish was represented by "nn" which is still used today in some
formats where you can't use the modern {enye}, AKA the n with the squiggly
line above it! I recall a quite detailed discussion on one list of which
European language's orthography should be adopted to represent this sound! I
use the "nn" a lot in emails.
