Thank you very much Arthur !
Yves Codet (Assistant Professor at Toulouse University, member of CRAPA
an institutional public research in Humanities in South of France) is
involved in TeX patterns for Greek and Indic languages. He is a
translator of Indian theater pieces (among other things).
See there : https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/hyphenation/sanhyph
And his involvement in the discussion about Devanagari romanisation for
translitteration and/or specific UTF8 specification in order to respect
Devanagari and Brahmi hyphenation with XeTeX.

1. In Sanskrit prose it is possible to produce compounds that span a few
lines. The concept of
"word" or "word division" fails here, as are the TeX mechanisms.
What we need in practice would be a "hyphenation" for the language
Sanskrit that hyphenates
after all Sanskrit vowels (in transcription this would be a, ā, i,
ī, u, ū, ṛ, ḷ, e, o, ai, au. The
last two cannot be split, "au" is one vowel with one vowel sign in
the original script). Of
course, we want to improve this automatic spelling occasionally, so
we need to be able to insert
a \- without thereby disabling the hyphenation for this compound.
I think in critical editions the problem of the disabled hyphenation
also arises when a variant
is added inside a word. In any case hyphenation is a real nuisance
in critical editions.
hypenation ... so no patterns, just injecting discretionaries after specific
vowels ... doable but it has to happen a some specific moment because when
language bound it's too soon, and the font handler does some reshuffling; it
can probabloy best be done after fonts have been done ... given specs a
typical rainy weekend activity
There are patterns, that implement almost exactly the kind of
automatic hyphenation Jürgen describes (see
https://github.com/hyphenation/tex-hyphen/blob/master/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-sa.tex#L50L134).
They’re just not in the ConTeXt distribution ...
