The [[wp:New York State Identification and Intelligence System|New York State Identification and Intelligence System phonetic code]], commonly known as NYSIIS, is a phonetic algorithm for creating indices for words based on their pronunciation. The goal is for homophones to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in spelling.▼
The task here is to implement the original NYSIIS algorithm, shown in Wikipedia, rather than any other subsequent modification. Also, before the algorithm is applied the input string should be converted to upper case with all white space removed.▼
▲The [[wp:New York State Identification and Intelligence System|New York State Identification and Intelligence System phonetic code]], commonly known as NYSIIS, is a phonetic algorithm for creating indices for words based on their pronunciation.
An optional step is to handle multiple names, including double-barrelled names or double surnames (e.g. 'Hoyle-Johnson' or 'Vaughan Williams') and unnecessary suffixes/honours that are not required for indexing purposes (e.g. 'Jnr', 'Sr', 'III', etc) - a small selection will suffice. The original implementation is also restricted to six characters, but this is not a requirement.▼
