Jump to navigation Jump to search

This module will transliterate Nuosu language text per Yiyu Pinyin. 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:ii-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.

local export = {}
local gsub = mw.ustring.gsub

local convert = mw.loadData("Module:ii-translit/data")

function export.tr(text, lang, sc)
	text = gsub(text:gsub("%^", ""), "[^%s*]", " %0")
	text = gsub(text, " ([%Aꀕ])", "%1") -- Iteration mark appends "w" onto previous syllable.
	return (gsub(text, "%S", convert))
end

return export
