Sanskrit Transliteration Tool
|
|
=============================
|
|
This is a tool for romanisation of Sanskrit texts written in the Devanagari
|
|
script using the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST).
|
|
|
|
The program is able to perform bidirectional transliteration: by default, it
|
|
romanises Sanskrit texts written in Devanagari using the IAST scheme;
|
|
alternatively it can be used for reverse transliteration of IAST encoded texts
|
|
into Devanagari.
|
|
|
|
Given the fact that the IAST standard handles only the classic Sanskrit
|
|
character set, it cannot be used for lossless transliteration of modern Hindi.
|
|
It can, however, be used for transcription of Hindi (which is lossy).
|
|
|
|
For more details on the usage of the program and the requirements for the input
|
|
data, see the included manual page iast(1).
