Mojca, Arthur, In case you're bored and looking for something to add to hyph-utf8 :) ... (I did not think Hindi was hyphenated. Interesting.)

There are no Hindi hyphenation patterns in TeX right now. LaTeX prints a list of all supported hyphenation patterns to screen at the beginning of each run. However, there are Hindi hyphenation patterns for OpenOffice: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/smc.git/tree/hyphenation/hyph_hi_IN.dic Since OpenOffice uses the same hyphenation algorithm as TeX (slightly modified), it's likely that you can use them. Maybe someone more experienced with hyphenation patterns can tell you whether they have to be adapted.
