NEW German Hyphenation

[Sverrir Jonsson]

Is the NEW German Hyphenation support by LOUT?


German reformed (from: http://www.xs4all.nl/~talo/talo/de_rules.html)

Due to the changes in spelling, some former hyphenation principles can no
longer be used. The language module German reformed of the Hyphenator has
been optimized according to all spelling and hyphenation changes.

The most important changes are:

1. The ligature st disappears. These consonants should be hyphenated as:
kas-ten, Alabas-ter, illus-ter etc.

2. Instead of hyphenation of ck, these dissyllables are kept unified, e.g.
Zu-cker, ba-cken, Zwi-ckau.

3. The principle of consonant doubling disappears. The new spelling of
Schiffahrt is Schifffahrt, however, the Hyphenator does detect old spelling
variants.

4. The eindeutschende principles of hyphenation is introduced. This rule
affects compound words which are now treated as individual elements:
en-ei-nan-der, über-ei-nan-der, etc.

5. Greek and Roman prefixes are now hyphenated in a different manner:
Ob-edi-enza becomes O-be-di-enz, Syn-od becomes Sy-nod and syn-onym becomes
sy-nonym, etc.
