org.foray.hyphen.util.NaturalLanguage
Manages various aspects of a natural language, specifically what grapheme clusters are valid in that language. NOTE: There may be a better way to do this, but I have not found it yet. Java has the "Locale" class, which gives access to certain resources. However, this seems to be JVM-specific, and does not allow for extension by addition of new locales. Also the ICU4J libraries from IBM (parts of which are included in Java 5, parts in Java 6) provide some similar capabilities, but do not seem to be documented well enough for us to use. It seems like writing this class will be easier than trying to figure out any of the other.
