Hyphenation patterns for German in T1/EC and UTF-8 encodings, for traditional and reformed spelling, including Swiss German. The package includes the latest patterns from dehyph-exptl (known to TeX under names 'german', 'ngerman' and 'swissgerman'), however 8-bit engines still load old versions of patterns for 'german' and 'ngerman' for backward- compatibility reasons. Swiss German patterns are suitable for Swiss Standard German (Hochdeutsch) not the Alemannic dialects spoken in Switzerland (Schwyzerduetsch). There are no known patterns for written Schwyzerduetsch.
