This module will transliterate Manchu language text. It is also used to transliterate Sanskrit and Classical Tibetan. 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:mnc-translit/testcases.

Functions
