Hyphenation.org is the source for typographically-correct left/right hyphens
for each language:

- http://www.hyphenation.org/tex#languages

(These are the left/right numbers that have been used in TeX for decades.)

Many languages use the default of 2/2, but there are exceptions... For example:

- English = 2/3
- Armenian = 1/2
- Ancient Greek = 1/1

For example, in US English:

- mem-o-ry

valid hyphenation points are based on syllables, but:

- mem-ory

would be the "typographically correct" hyphenation, because of right = 3.

Side Note: Over the years, I've also extensively described hyphenation in the
case of ebooks / HTML+CSS:

Things have been getting better on that front, and I'm so excited to see these
new hyphenation options finally being added into LibreOffice 7.5. :)
