Every authority.
Every script.
One map.
Interscript encodes the world's romanization systems — BGN/PCGN, ISO, UN, ALA-LC, ODNI, ICAO, DIN — as machine-readable maps that produce byte-identical output across Ruby, TypeScript, and the browser. 289 systems, 35 authorities, 31 script pairs, all checked into git and tested against the published reference documents.

What it is
Transliteration as data, not code.
Most romanization libraries hand-roll one system per language. Interscript encodes the entire corpus of authority-backed systems using a single declarative map format. Maps are checked into git, versioned, independently testable, and executed identically by every runtime from one ISC source.
Author the map
A declarative map language — ISC — captures the rules of an authority document verbatim, all special cases and notes included.
stage main {
parallel {
sub "А" "A"
sub "Б" "B"
sub "В" "V"
}
}One format, every engine
The same human-readable ISC text is parsed by the Ruby gem, interscript-ts, and the browser — no intermediate compilation, no format drift between runtimes.
stage main {
run map.cyrllatn.stage.main
parallel {
sub "'" ""
}
}Run anywhere
Ruby gem, TypeScript package, and in-browser widget — all parse the same ISC maps and produce the same bytes for the same input.

From 289 systems. Five shown.
Each system has a published authority document, machine-readable map, exhaustive test vectors, and live in-browser preview. The five below are running right now on this page.

The neural layer
Where maps end, models begin.
Some conversions have no authority document: restoring the diacritics a scribe left out, reading Thai or Urdu as phonemes. Those ship as checksummed neural artifacts under the same discipline — measured metrics, teacher next to student, identical bytes from every runtime.
