Don't want to be picky, but I'm a bit puzzled. As [dl] is written above,
surely it represents two consonants just as. e.g. [bl] and [gl] do. Indeed
[dl] was (is?) used in some English Yorkshire dialects where standard
English has [gl], e.g. 'gloom' [dlu:m].
On that analogy isn't [nl] simply [nl]?

Ah, so what is 'dl'? Is it the voiced lateral affricate? In which case
Matt's 'n with superscript l' (SAMPA [n_l]) would seem to be the
appropriate nasal sound.
My apologies for being rusty on Tech phonology :)
