This module will transliterate text in the Multani script. It is used to transliterate Saraiki. 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:Mult-translit/testcases.

Functions
