This module will transliterate text in the Devanagari script. 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:Deva-as-Beng-translit/testcases.

Functions

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.

-- Override returns text even if some characters cannot be transliterated.
-- If noKhandaTa is set, then "ৎ" will not be contextually substituted for "ত্", which is suitable (e.g.) for Sanskrit transliteration.
