Module:aii-translit

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This module will transliterate Assyrian Neo-Aramaic language text. The module should preferably not be called directly from templates or other modules. To use it from a template, use {{xlit}}. Within a module, use Module:languages#Language:transliterate.

For testcases, see Module:aii-translit/testcases.

Functions

tr(text, lang, sc)
Transliterates a given piece of text written in the script specified by the code sc, and language specified by the code lang.
When the transliteration fails, returns nil.
