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: http://hindson.com.au/info/free/free-english-language-hyphenation-dictionary/. There is also a more extensive Moby hyphenator dictionary that I thought might come in handy for words which Matthews' hasn't hyphenated: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3204/3204.txt Hope this is in accordance with all your suggestions.
