sanskrit / sanscript

Transliteration packages for Indian scripts

Sanskrit

This is a general-purpose package for dealing with Sanskrit data of any kind. It currently operates at and below the word level and below, with modules like:

• query, for accessing linguistic data
• sandhi, for applying and undoing sandhi changes
• sounds, for testing sounds and getting the meter of a phrase
• sanscript, for transliterating Sanskrit from one script to another

Soon the package will move up to the word and sentence levels. Once there, it will provide tools for inflecting, analyzing, tagging, and parsing Sanskrit.

sanscript's Issues

Coding for short e and o.

Dravidian languages (Tam, Kan, Tel, Mal) have small e & o, while Indo-Aryan ( Dev and related) did not have them.

Unicode has introduced glyphs for small e & o in Dev and many other scripts/languages.

ITRANS is also updated with these vowels.

Sansscript lacks input for these vowels, which need to be updated.

requesting help with vowel "R"

Hi!

I need help with the vowel "R" which -- when switching from hk to iast -- is the only one that is not converted. (R is not converted also when switching from any of the other available schemes, sanskrit and kannada, just click the option buttons in the sample below).

I have implemented sanscript into the following code:

(u: kannada pw: kannaDa)

I am very new to this environment, so please excuse for beginner's bugs!

Thanks,
Gil.
