This module will transliterate Burmese language text per the MLCTS scheme per WT:MY TR. 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:my-translit/testcases.

Functions
