i uploaded a beta that has the patterns and language definitions .. but
up
to you to check it and provide better settings if needed
Thanks, Hans!
Now mkiv correctly loads the patterns and hyphenation works (though
even with \language[ml], log says "language 'en' is active").
\language is a local command, use \mainlanguage instead
Does not seem to have an effect here. MWE:
\starttext
%\language[ml]
\mainlanguage[ml]
\definedfont[file:rachana*default]
കോണ്‍ടെക്സ്റ്റില്‍ മലയാളം ടൈപ്പ്സെറ്റ് ചെയ്തത്
\stoptext
The font, Rachana, could be found here:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/smc/fonts/malayalam-fonts-6.0/Rach...
\starttext

\mainlanguage[ml]
\definedfont[file:rachana*default]
\setuplayout[width=4cm]
\setupalign[tolerant]
\showframe

\setuplanguage[ml][lefthyphenmin=1,righthyphenmin=1]

കോണ്‍ടെക്സ്റ്റില്‍ മലയാളം ടൈപ്പ്സെറ്റ് ചെയ്തത്

\stoptext

i see one hyphen ... how good are the patterns?
