+
+Configurable Knuth-Liang hyphenation using the UTF8 encoded hyphenation patterns provided by [hyph-utf8](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hyph-utf8)
+
+Usage:
+
+```haskell
+>>> hyphenate english_US "supercalifragilisticexpialadocious"
+["su","per","cal","ifrag","ilis","tic","ex","pi","al","ado","cious"]
+```
+
+```haskell
+>>> hyphenate english_US "hyphenation"
+["hy","phen","ation"]
+```
+
+```haskell
+>>> hyphenate icelandic "va\240lahei\240avegavinnuverkf\230rageymslusk\250r"
+["va\240la","hei\240a","vega","vinnu","verk","f\230ra","geymslu","sk\250r"]
