This module will generate entry names for text in the Syriac script. It is used to generate entry names for Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, Western Neo-Aramaic, Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, and Turoyo.
The module should preferably not be called directly from templates or other modules.
To use it from a template, use {{entryname}}
.
Within a module, use Module:languages#Language:makeEntryName.
For testcases, see Module:Syrc-entryname/testcases.
