Do you want to take care of these things, at your convenience? I have created the package for Ethiopic (please double check if everything is OK). Before proceeding to replacement of language.ptx here are some observations about the differences ... 0.) Quite some languages have been added to hyph-utf8 "recentely" and most are missing in language.ptx, however they should be equally valid. 1.) In language.ptx there are some weird names (-> language.dat): - samin -> swedish - bahasa -> indonesian 2.) in pTeX there are some extra synonyms; are they really needed? (Or better: if they are, they would probably have to be part of language.dat as well.) english hyphen.tex % do not change! =usenglish =USenglish =american =canadian ukenglish ukhyphen-ptex.tex =UKenglish =british =australian =newzealand 3.1.) Useless for pTeX (but loadhyph-xx.tex works in principle): % from hyphen-ethiopic: ... % from hyphen-armenian: armenian loadhyph-hy.tex % from hyphen-indic: assamese loadhyph-as.tex bengali loadhyph-bn.tex gujarati loadhyph-gu.tex hindi loadhyph-hi.tex kannada loadhyph-kn.tex malayalam loadhyph-ml.tex marathi loadhyph-mr.tex oriya loadhyph-or.tex panjabi loadhyph-pa.tex tamil loadhyph-ta.tex telugu loadhyph-te.tex % from hyphen-lao: lao loadhyph-lo.tex % from hyphen-sanskrit: sanskrit loadhyph-sa.tex 3.2.) currently not usable in pTeX (fails to work): % from dehyph-exptl: german-x-2009-06-19 dehypht-x-2009-06-19.tex =german-x-latest ngerman-x-2009-06-19 dehyphn-x-2009-06-19.tex =ngerman-x-latest 3.3.) I thought it was useless; fishy (loadhyph loads empty patterns) coptic copthyph.tex 3.4.) Why extra version of patterns in ptex subfolder? But I would remove them from language.ptx entirely anyway. ibycus ibyhyph.tex 4.) Close inspection needed (but then - I don't believe in polygreek and ancientgreek patterns in pTeX anyway). I'm not sure if loadhyph-xx.tex works; needs testing. greek grphyph4-ptex.tex =polygreek monogreek grmhyph4-ptex.tex ancientgreek grahyph4-ptex.tex i.) I will first wait to get updated TeX Live. ii.) After resolving 2 and 4 I can fix language.ptx and remove ptex-specific files [may be done in two steps], but I would prefer if at least some pTeX user would agree with the changes and test them. iii.) Optional automatic generation of language.ptx may be postponed to infinity. Mojca
