I seem to remember that Knuth did a pretty amazing job with hyphenation in TeX, most of it was algorithmic, and there were hyphenation engines for at least a few languages. I'll have to dig out my copy of The TeXbook to look (yes, I'm one of those nerds who has the five-volume box set of TeX and MetaFont books), but this may be something that somebody's already done a really good job on.
