This module will transliterate text in the Inscriptional Parthian script. It is used to transliterate Parthian. 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:Prti-translit/testcases.

Functions

tr(text, lang, sc)
