Transliterate Malayalam text into English-style Manglish with a small set of fixes on top of ml2en

aksharam

aksharam is a Python library for transliterating Malayalam text into English-style Manglish with a small set of compatibility fixes built on top of ml2en.

It provides a simple API for converting Malayalam words and phrases into Romanized Manglish output while preserving common transliteration nuances such as anusvaram handling, retroflex voicing, and compound-letter fixes.

Installation

pip install aksharam

Usage

from aksharam import transliterate

print(transliterate("കൈ"))
# Kai

You can also transliterate multiple items at once:

from aksharam import transliterate_text

print(transliterate_text(["കൈ", "ജ്ഞാനം", "ഓടുക"]))

CLI

aksharam "കൈ"
