This module will transliterate text in the Mahajani script. It is used to transliterate Marwari. 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:Mahj-translit/testcases.

Functions
