The 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.

Perl 6

This implementation removes common name suffixes similar to the reference implementation, even though it is not specified in the task description or on the linked NYSIIS page. This algorithm isn't too friendly to certain French kings. :)

<lang perl6>sub no_suffix ($name) {

   $name.uc.subst: /\h (<[JS]>R) | (<[IVX]>+) $/, ;

}

sub nysiis ($name is copy) {

   given $name .= uc {
       s:g/<-[A..Z]>//;
       s/^MAC/MCC/;
       s/^P<[FH]>/FF/;
