An English-to-Gallifreyan transliterator, based on

[Sherman's Gallifreyan](https://shermansplanet.com/gallifreyan/)

created by Loren Sherman.

Note that Sherman's Gallifreyan is a fan-made cipher and is not affiliated with

the BBC show Doctor Who.

## Project status

The goal of Gallifreyo is to be able to recreate the first image from the

[official guide](https://shermansplanet.com/gallifreyan/guide.pdf) to Sherman's

Gallifreyan — a transliteration of "hello sweetie" — to a

reasonable degree of accuracy.

This target image is simple but complex. It is a good indication of how well

Gallifreyo handles a range of requirements:

* low-level requirements like word positioning and sizing, letters and vowels,

  and sentence formation

* medium-level requirements like dots, lines, and variance between letter types

* high-level requirements like double-letter and -vowel merging, sentence

  outlining, and word interlocking

It's just missing punctuation, paragraphs (multiple sentences), and numbers.

Obviously, Gallifreyo is incomplete.
