Thank you all, for your kind suggestions. For a start, I am implementing a
basic dictionary lookup, so that we are sure of how each word hyphenates. If
the user enters a word that is not in the dictionary, then the hyphenation
would be based on the algorithm that LaTex uses (though this doesn't give
guaranteed "correct" hyphenations so to speak). In any case, the priority
would be to lookup the dictionary first. To begin with, we can implement the
hyphenator for English, and then hopefully expand to other languages. 

As for the rule about sung syllables that lasconic was mentioning, I'm
planning to use Matthews' dictionary:

There is also a more extensive Moby hyphenator dictionary that I thought
might come in handy for words which Matthews' hasn't hyphenated:

Hope this is in accordance with all your suggestions.

Thanks,
Akhilesh
