# hindi-transliterate
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@indic-tools/hindi-transliterate)
This JavaScript module provides a function to transliterate text from Devanagari script to the Hunterian system, commonly used for Romanizing Indian languages like Hindi and Sanskrit. It supports both casual and Sanskrit-specific transliteration modes.
## Features
- Converts Devanagari text to Hunterian Romanization.
- Supports two modes:
+ Casual Mode (default): Simplified transliteration for general use ("आ" → "aa").
+ Sanskrit Mode: Precise transliteration with diacritics for Sanskrit ("आ" → "ā").
- Handles consonants, vowels, vowel signs, and special characters (e.g., anusvara, visarga).
- Automatically adds an implicit "a" after consonants when needed, based on mode and context.
- Preserves non-Devanagari characters (e.g., punctuation, spaces).
## Installation
```bash
npm i @indic-tools/hindi-transliterate
```
## Sample Usage
```javascript
const { transliterate } = require(
'@indic-tools/hindi-transliterate'
);
var text = "नमस्ते";
var result = transliterate(text, sanskritMode = false);
console.log(result);
// namaste
```
## Sample Outputs
```
