Overview
Lampungify is an open-source transliteration library developed to support Lamban Bahasa — a digital Lampung language dictionary initiative. This tool enables bi-directional transliteration between Latin script and traditional Lampung script, designed to preserve and modernize the use of the Lampung language in digital contexts.
The library is built using Deno and TypeScript, and is published on both NPM and JSR to support wide usage across Node, Deno, and modern edge environments. The core logic utilizes Regex-based text parsing and a custom Lampung script font to deliver precise character mapping for a wide range of use cases — from educational tools to cultural archiving.
The project is actively maintained on GitHub and serves as a foundational piece of infrastructure for the broader Lampung digital language ecosystem.
