This module will generate diacritic-stripped text for text in the Syriac script. It is used to strip diacritics for Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, Western Neo-Aramaic, Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, and Turoyo. The module should preferably not be called directly from templates or other modules. To use it from a template, use {{strip diacritics}}. Within a module, use Module:languages#Language:stripDiacritics.

For testcases, see Module:Syrc-stripdiacritics/testcases.
