Cree Transliterator

A JavaScript library for transliterating between Cree language writing systems.

NOTE: A more robust Cree transliterator, which handles morphophonology and provides options for other writing conventions, is the eddieantonio/cree-sro-syllabics library.

Usage

Install with npm or yarn:

npm install cree-transliterator
yarn add cree-transliterator

The library exports two functions:

sro2syllabics: convert Standard Roman Orthography (SRO) text to Western Cree Syllabics
syllabics2sro: convert Western Cree Syllabics to Standard Roman Orthography (SRO)

Import the function into your code and run it on the string you'd like to convert:

import { sro2syllabics } from '@dwhieb/cree-transliterator';

const sro = `k-mci-pkiskwtikot hi oskya -nhiyawyit. mka namya nisitohtaww awa oskiniks tnisi -itwyit ta wsta -nhiyawt.`;

const result = sro2syllabics(sro);

console.log(result);
// Output:
//
