This module will transliterate text in the Chorasmian script. It is used to transliterate Khwarezmian. 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:Chrs-translit/testcases.

Functions
