Module:Sarb-translit

Wiktionary වෙතින්

This module will transliterate text in the Ancient South Arabian අක්ෂරක්‍රමය. It is used to transliterate Minaean, Old South Arabian, Harami, Hadrami, Qatabanian, and Sabaean. 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:Sarb-translit/testcases.
