This module will transliterate text in the Dhives Akuru script. It is used to transliterate Dhivehi. 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:Diak-translit/testcases.

Functions
