Summary

The purpose of this library is to deal with multiple representations of a polytonic greek string, namely beta code, polytonic greek & transliterated — or romanized.

The library tries to be as simple and flexible as possible. It provides both conversion presets that follow some of the main institutional guidelines and an access to the underlying conversion parameters to provide a granular control over the conversion process.

Conversion presets

The library provides a number of presets that follow some of the main conversion standards. Find below the details for each defined preset, its potential limitations and conversion examples.

Beta code

Note

Only a subset of the large Thesaurus Linguae Graecae character set (1000+), including the Greek Alphabet and parts of Additional Punctuation and Characters & Additional Characters sections, is implemented (see the conversion chart).

Simple beta code

Use Description Reference

Preset.SIMPLE_BC

A simplified beta code style that aims to be easier to write than the canonical one.

See below

// Corresponding `IConversionOptions`

{ additionalChars: AdditionalChar.ALL }

// Examples

toBetaCode(
  'Ἐκεῖναι μὲν δὴ φυσικῆς μετὰ κινήσεως γάρ, ' +
  'αὕτη δὲ ἑτέρας, εἰ μηδεμία αὐτοῖς ἀρχὴ κοινή.',
  KeyType.GREEK, Preset.SIMPLE_BC
)

// Outputs: E)kei=nai me\n dh\ fusikh=s meta\ kinh/sews ga/r,
// au(/th de\ e(te/ras, ei) mhdemi/a au)toi=s a)rxh\ koinh/.

Reference

This beta code flavor follows essentially the guidelines defined by the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, with these restrictions:

only capital letters are written in capitals (adding an asterisk before a capital letter becomes unnecessary);
diacritical marks are always placed after the letter that carries them.

TLG

Tip

To input Thesaurus Linguae Graecae beta code, you must use the KeyType value TLG_BETA_CODE.
e. g. toGreek('*QOUKUDI/DHS', KeyType.TLG_BETA_CODE) // Θουκυδίδης

// Outputs: *)EKEI=NAI ME\N DH\ FUSIKH=S META\ KINH/SEWS GA/R,
// AU(/TH DE\ E(TE/RAS, EI) MHDEMI/A AU)TOI=S A)RXH\ KOINH/.

Transliteration

ALA-LC

Tip

See ALA-LC (modern) for Modern Greek.

Note

The current implementation doesn't:

support rules that are not governed by a predictable law:
1. add transliterated rough breathings ('h') if they're not explicitly indicated (such as in all caps strings);
2. remove iota adscript occurrences (generally undifferentiated from the 'Greek Small Letter Iota');
transliterate greek numerals (planned for v0.15 - see #5).

BNF (adapted)

Tip

You should use the ISO 843 (1997) preset for Modern Greek.

Important

This implementation uses the alternative forms for Ancient Greek (see reference, rule 2. n. 1). While the reference defines an 'ISO form' and a 'reference form', this implementation returns a unique form.

Note

The current implementation doesn't support rules numbered 4.1.1., 4.1.2., 4.3. n. 4 & 7.

Conversion options

Find below the expected behavior for each conversion option.

`removeDiacritics`

boolean Removes diacritical marks according to input type.

const style = { removeDiacritics: true }

toGreek('ánthrōpos', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ανθρωπος
toTransliteration('εὐδαίμων', KeyType.GREEK, style) // eudaimōn

`removeExtraWhitespace`

boolean Removes multiple spaces, multiple line breaks et cætera.

const style = { removeExtraWhitespace: true }
toGreek('ICHTHUS     ZŌNTŌN', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ἸΧΘΥΣ ΖΩΝΤΩΝ

`betaCodeStyle`

`skipSanitization`

boolean Prevents the deletion of non-beta code characters during the normalization process.

const style = { betaCodeStyle: { skipSanitization: true } }
toBetaCode('*TO\ ZW=|ON <τὸ ζῷον>', KeyType.TLG_BETA_CODE, style) // To\ zw=|on <τὸ ζῷον>

`useTLGStyle`

Tip

To input Thesaurus Linguae Graecae beta code, you must use the KeyType value TLG_BETA_CODE.
e. g. toGreek('*QOUKUDI/DHS', KeyType.TLG_BETA_CODE) // Θουκυδίδης

boolean Outputs Thesaurus Linguae Graecae beta code (Preset.TLG is a shortcut for this).

const style = { betaCodeStyle: { useTLGStyle: true } }

toBetaCode('Sōkrátēs', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // *SWKRA/THS
toBetaCode('O(pli/ths', KeyType.BETA_CODE, style) // *(OPLI/THS

`greekStyle`

`useBetaVariant`

boolean Use the typographic variant 'ϐ' [U+03D0] within a word. This is employed in some high-quality typesetting.

const style = { greekStyle: { useBetaVariant: true } }
toGreek('βιϐλίον', KeyType.GREEK, style) // βιβλίον

`useGreekQuestionMark`

boolean Outputs greek question marks ';' [U+037E] rather than regular semicolons.

const style = { greekStyle: { useGreekQuestionMark: true } }
toGreek('poũ?', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ποῦ; (U+037E)

`useLunateSigma`

Tip

Enabling option useLunateSigma automatically adds the lunate sigma to the mapping.

boolean Outputs lunate sigmas 'ϲ, Ϲ' rather than regular sigmas (this option applies to regular sigmas).

const style = { greekStyle: { useLunateSigma: true } }

toGreek('hágios', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ἅγιοϲ
toGreek('ἅγιος', KeyType.GREEK, style) // ἅγιοϲ

`useMonotonicOrthography`

boolean Outputs monotonic accents (tonos, diaeresis) only.

const style = { greekStyle: { useMonotonicOrthography: true } }

toGreek('kalòs ka̓gathós', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // καλος καγαθός
toGreek('Ἄϊδα', KeyType.GREEK, style) // Άϊδα

`transliterationStyle`

`setCoronisStyle`

Coronis (defaults to: Coronis.PSILI) Takes a Coronis enum whose values are PSILI | APOSTOPHE | NO.

const apostrophe = { transliterationStyle: { setCoronisStyle: Coronis.APOSTROPHE } }
const disableCoronis = { transliterationStyle: { setCoronisStyle: Coronis.NO } }

toTransliteration('κἀγώ', KeyType.GREEK) // ka̓gṓ
toTransliteration('κἀγώ', KeyType.GREEK, apostrophe) // ka’gṓ
toTransliteration('κἀγώ', KeyType.GREEK, disableCoronis) // kagṓ

`useCxOverMacron`

Warning

This option also affects the input. So, if you convert a transliterated string to another representation, you must either write using the rule described below, or perform a self-conversion first.

boolean Alters the mapping so that letters with a macron (like long vowels eta and omega) are written with a circumflex.

const style = { transliterationStyle: { useCxOverMacron: true } }

toTransliteration('Ὁπλίτης', KeyType.GREEK, style) // Hoplítês
toTransliteration('Hoplítēs', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // Hoplítês

// Illustration of the warning above

toGreek('Hoplítēs', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ✗ Ὁπλίτε̄ς
toGreek('Hoplítês', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ✓ Ὁπλίτης
toGreek(toTransliteration('Hoplítēs', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style), KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ✓ Ὁπλίτης

`beta_v`, `eta_i`, `xi_ks`, `phi_f`, `chi_kh`, `upsilon_y`, `lunatesigma_s`

Warning

These options also affect the input. So, if you convert a transliterated string to another representation, you must either write using the rule described below, or perform a self-conversion first.

Tip

Enabling option lunatesigma_s automatically adds the lunate sigma to the mapping.

boolean Alters the mapping so that letters named in the left side of the option (beta, eta, etc) match the value given in the right side ('v', 'i', etc).

const style = { transliterationStyle: { beta_v: true } }

toTransliteration('βάρϐαρος', KeyType.GREEK, style) // várvaros
toTransliteration('bárbaros', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // várvaros

// Illustration of the warning above

toGreek('bárbaros', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ✗ bάρbαρος
toGreek('várvaros', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ✓ βάρϐαρος
toGreek(toTransliteration('bárbaros', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style), KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // ✓ βάρϐαρος

`gammaNasal_n`

boolean Outputs 'n' rather than 'g' when a gamma nasal occurs.

const style = { transliterationStyle: { gammaNasal_n: true } }
toTransliteration('ἄγγελος', KeyType.GREEK, style) // ángelos

`muPi_b`

Tip

Best used in conjunction with beta_v, to avoid the letter 'b' being ambiguous.

boolean Outputs 'b' rather than 'mp' at the beginning of a word.

const style = { transliterationStyle: { muPi_b: true } }
toTransliteration('Γεώργιος Μπαμπινιώτης', KeyType.GREEK, style) // Geṓrgios Bampiniṓtēs

`nuTau_d`

boolean Outputs 'd̲' [U+0064, U+0332] rather than 'nt' at the beginning of a word.

const style = { transliterationStyle: { nuTau_d: true } }
toTransliteration('Ντμίτρι', KeyType.GREEK, style) // D̲mitri

`rho_rh`

boolean Always outputs 'rh' for a rho at the beginning of a word or 'rrh' for a double rho.

const style = { transliterationStyle: { rho_rh: true } }

toTransliteration('*RO/DOS', KeyType.TLG_BETA_CODE, style) // Rhódos
toTransliteration('polúrrizos', KeyType.TRANSLITERATION, style) // polúrrhizos

`additionalChars`

Note

See the additional characters section below for the list of additional characters.

AdditionalChar[] | AdditionalChar Extends the default mapping with additional characters from the AdditionalChar enum. Use AdditionalChar.ALL to enable the whole set.

toGreek('A(/GIOS3', KeyType.BETA_CODE, {
  additionalChars: AdditionalChar.LUNATE_SIGMA
}) // ἍΓΙΟϹ

toBetaCode('βασιληϝος, διϳος', KeyType.GREEK, {
  additionalChars: [AdditionalChar.DIGAMMA, AdditionalChar.YOT]
}) // basilhvos, diϳos

toTransliteration('ϛ, ϟ, ϡ', KeyType.GREEK, {
  additionalChars: AdditionalChar.ALL
}) // c̄, q, s̄
