Module:pa-Arab-translit/documentation

	Documentation for Module:pa-Arab-translit. ^[edit]
	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the module.

	This module documentation page is in beta stage.
	Module has been updated. It should work as expected for majority of the words. It may have problems with diphthongs and a minority of Arabic loanwords. Module needs verification from other native Punjabi speakers who understand Shahmukhi lemmas with diacritics, because this is quite difficult to get your head wrapped around. Check documentation for further listed problems.

This module will transliterate text in the Shahmukhi script. It is also used to transliterate Old Punjabi, Pahari-Potwari, and 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:pa-Arab-translit/testcases.

Functions

tr(text, lang, sc): 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.
