Transliteration_Engine

A lightweight, two-way Python transliteration engine designed to seamlessly convert text between the Devanagari script and the traditional Mithilakshar (Tirhuta) script.

🚀 Features

  • Two-Way Conversion: Supports both forward (Devanagari to Mithilakshar) and reverse (Mithilakshar to Devanagari) script mappings.
  • Phonetic Preservation: Retains exact word pronunciations, vowels, consonants, and matras during the conversion process.
  • Modular Design: Divided into distinct script files for easy integration into web applications or larger NLP pipelines.

⚙️ Installation

Clone the repository directly to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com
cd Transliteration_Engine

💻 Usage

1. Convert Devanagari to Mithilakshar

Run this script to convert standard Devanagari text into the traditional Tirhuta script:

python devnagari2mithilakshar_convertor.py

2. Convert Mithilakshar to Devanagari

Run this script to reverse the process and restore Mithilakshar text back into Devanagari:

python mithilakshar2devnagari_convertor.py

📝 Prerequisites

Ensure you have a Tirhuta-compatible font (such as Tirhuta or Mithilauni) installed on your system to correctly render the Mithilakshar characters in your terminal or text editor.
