CTAN update: spanish hyphenation patterns

On Tue, 10 Jan 2006, Javier Bezos submitted updates to the spanish hyphenation patterns, ie. to

a) the subtree language/spanish b) the file language/hyphenation/eshyph.tex

This is an update for the Spanish hyphenation patterns supported by the Spanish TUG CervanTeX:

• Thanks to a list of about 750000 words and extensive

tests, wrong hyphenations have been reduced dramatically and the number of patterns has been almost duplicated.

• Since the Spanish Academy rules of 1999 are very vague,

incomplete and even contradictory, they had to be completed with some traditional ones. The Academy has published new rules in November 2005 including many of the traditional ones employed here and therefore only minor adjustments have been necessary.

• Patterns for a few verbal endings are necessary, and

now the voseo forms (used in many countries of Central and South America) have been included.

Thanks for the upload.
