# 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](https://github.com/eddieantonio/cree-sro-syllabics.js#readme) library.

## Usage
Install with npm or yarn:
```cmd
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:
```js
import { sro2syllabics } from '@dwhieb/cree-transliterator';
const sro = `kâ-mâci-pîkiskwâtikot ôhi oskâya ê-nêhiyawêyit. mâka namôya nisitohtawêw awa oskinikîs tânisi ê-itwêyit âta wîsta ê-nêhiyawêt.`;
const result = sro2syllabics(sro);
console.log(result);
// Output:
// ᑳ ᒫᒋ ᐲᑭᐢᒁᑎᑯᐟ ᐆᐦᐃ ᐅᐢᑳᔭ ᐁ ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐍᔨᐟ᙮ ᒫᑲ ᓇᒨᔭ ᓂᓯᑐᐦᑕᐍᐤ ᐊᐘ ᐅᐢᑭᓂᑮᐢ ᑖᓂᓯ ᐁ ᐃᑘᔨᐟ ᐋᑕ ᐑᐢᑕ ᐁ ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐍᐟ᙮
