Package Exports

@indic-tools/hindi-transliterate
@indic-tools/hindi-transliterate/src/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@indic-tools/hindi-transliterate) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

hindi-transliterate

This JavaScript module provides a function to transliterate text from Devanagari script to the Hunterian system, commonly used for Romanizing Indian languages like Hindi and Sanskrit. It supports both casual and Sanskrit-specific transliteration modes.

Features

Converts Devanagari text to Hunterian Romanization.
Supports two modes:
- Casual Mode (default): Simplified transliteration for general use ("आ" → "aa").
- Sanskrit Mode: Precise transliteration with diacritics for Sanskrit ("आ" → "ā").
Handles consonants, vowels, vowel signs, and special characters (e.g., anusvara, visarga).
Automatically adds an implicit "a" after consonants when needed, based on mode and context.
Preserves non-Devanagari characters (e.g., punctuation, spaces).

Installation

npm i @indic-tools/hindi-transliterate

Sample Usage

const { transliterate } = require(
    '@indic-tools/hindi-transliterate'
);

var text = "नमस्ते";
var result = transliterate(text, sanskritMode = false);
console.log(result);
