+% language.us (and the start of language.dat)
+% - initial hyphenation patterns.
+% Created long ago by Sebastian Rahtz and others. Public domain.
+%
+% language.us is concatenated with the other language.*.dat files
+% desired by the user to create language.dat. This is done at the end
+% of install-tl.sh.
+%
+% The premade texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat (where you might be
+% reading this) in the distribution is a copy of this concatenation with
+% all languages enabled. It is used when the user asks to run live
+% (install option R).
+%
+% The preferred comment for actual language lines is %!. Do not use %!
+% for textual comments like this. This is to be able to separate
+% textual comments from commented-out language in such a way that
+% automatic parsing by programs is possible, so that
+% we can present the user with `all possible languages'.
+%
+% *PLEASE*, keep english as the default (first) here, and let it refer
+% to hyphen.tex (not, e.g., ushyph.tex), and do not change the
+% hyphen.tex file, or name some other file hyphen.tex. hyphen.tex must
+% remain the original file from Knuth, and it must be \language0.
+% Otherwise DEK will not be happy when he retypesets the Art of Computer
+% Programming and gets new hyphenation.
+%
+% The babel system allows you to easily change the active language for
+% LaTeX. For more information, see the documentation in
+% texmf-dist/doc/generic/babel/. ConTeXt has its own language support too.

+%
+% ushyphmax.tex, on the other hand, includes Gerard Kuiken's additional
+% patterns; it is not frozen.
+usenglishmax ushyphmax.tex
+%
+% FYI, ushyph.tex is Dr. Kuiken's smaller set of patterns; with today's
+% large memories, there is no reason to use it, and we don't list it here.
+% ushyph1.tex is another (historical) name for hyphen.tex.
+% ushyph2.tex is another (historical) name for ushyph.tex.
