Module:Laoo-sortkey

Wiktionary වෙතින්

This module will sort text in the Lao අක්ෂරක්‍රමය. It is used to sort Eastern Bru, Western Bru, Khmu, සහ ලාඕ. The module should preferably not be called directly from templates or other modules. To use it from a template, use {{sortkey}}. Within a module, use Module:languages#Language:makeSortKey.

For testcases, see Module:Laoo-sortkey/testcases.

Functions
