Carrier Transliterator

By default, the entire text will be transliterated. To transliterate only a subpart, select the part you wish to transliterate with your mouse.

As a transliterator, this program just converts between writing sytems. It does not translate between the English and Carrier languages. Note also that the syllabic writing system is designed for the Carrier language. You may or may not be able to use it to write English or other languages without adapting what you want to write to the sound system of Carrier. You will be alerted if input containing things that cannot be transliterated into syllabics is detected.

It does implement the devices added by Carrier people for writing the foreign sounds /r/ and /p/, which Father Morice did not provide for.

Father Morice treated syllable-final /w/ as /oo/ and syllable-final /wh/ as /ooh/, which is how these are handled here.
