Agreed the Rema's silence re: the Ayyin bespeaks that there used to be an
Ashkneazic Ayyin. I have been trying to reconstruct it somehow for many
years.

Dutch Sephardim did the Ayin like the French ng [as in Filet MIgnon]  or the
Spanish n with a ~ on top [e.g. manana]

I am guessing that the Westernized Ashkanzim had a  simlar Ayyin,  like the
ni in Onion
