Description

The Andalusian varieties of [Spanish] (Spanish: andaluz; Andalusian) are spoken in Andalusia, Ceuta, Melilla, and Gibraltar. They include perhaps the most distinct of the southern variants of peninsular Spanish, differing in many respects from northern varieties, and also from Standard Spanish. Further info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andalusian_Spanish.

This package introduces transliteration functions to convert español (spanish) spelling to andaluz. As there's no official or standard andaluz spelling, andaluh-js is adopting the EPA proposal (Er Prinzipito Andaluh). Further info: https://andaluhepa.wordpress.com. Other andaluz spelling proposals are planned to be added as well.

Installation

From NPM repository

$ npm install @andalugeeks/andaluh --save

Usage

First, install dependencies with npm install. Then use tsc CLI to build the distribution /dist folder with tsc.

Javascript

const EPA = require('@andalugeeks/andaluh').epa;
const andaluhEPA = new EPA();
console.log(andaluhEPA.transcript('El veloz murciélago hindú comía feliz cardillo y kiwi. La cigüeña tocaba el saxofón detrás del palenque de paja'));
// Er belôh murçiélago indú comía felîh cardiyo y kiwi. La çigueña tocaba er çâççofón detrâh der palenque de paha.

TypeScript

You can simply use:

// Er belôh murçiélago indú comía felîh cardiyo y kiwi. La çigueña tocaba er çâççofón detrâh der palenque de paha.

Publishing

To submit a package to npm registry (as npmjs), use tsc (typescript CLI) to build the distribution folder /dist, then:

Consider to upgrade the major/minor/patch version before submitting a new package (edit package.json). Also remember to login with npm on your registry account before publishing.
