The transliteration script should contain a gradually growing vocabulary that would help disambiguate known words. Otherwise there would be a very high number of ambiguous positions in any transliterated string. | The transliteration script should contain a gradually growing vocabulary that would help disambiguate known words.

+ | ===== Vocabulary of Frequent Words ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some frequent words cannot be disambiguated by character-based rules alone but a vocabulary could identify them as existing unambiguous Urdu words and save much manual work by disambiguating them. Here are some examples: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * ہے => he (“is”) | ||
+ | * میں => meñ (“in”) | ||
+ | * ایک => ek (“one”) | ||
+ | * اور => or (“and”) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note however that there are inherently ambiguous words that cannot be disambiguated without human intervention (or at least without looking at the neighboring words). Examples: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * تو => to (“so”) | tū (“thou”) | ||
+ | * اس => is (“of this”) | us (“of that”) | ||
+ | * ان => in (“of these”) | un (“of those”) | ||
