Hi,

German orthography is a mess right now, we now have two sets of rules,
old and new. New hyphenation is ugly and rules are constantly
changing. I see that ConTeXt has lang-deo.pat, so I was hoping that
this would produce "old" patterns, but it doesn't seem to work
Should work(TM).
\showhyphens{Bierdeckel}
I may completely missunderstand the .pat files, but I think they only
give rules where to hyphenate; thus with the current .pat system one can
never get ck -> k-k.
LaTeX's german.sty and also ConTeXt provide
"ck -> k-k
"ll -> ll-l
"ff ->ff-f
(as in Bierde"ckel, Ro"lladen or Schi"ffahrt).

Hmm, my Duden of 1996 writes in black "au|ßerst" (= new & established
spelling), which is in line what I remember.
But I see \showhyphens{äußerstenfalls} be wrongly hyphenated; according
to Duden it should be:
äu|ßersten|falls (new spelling: äu|ßers|ten|falls). TeX hyphenates here
(with deo = established spelling) between the s and the t.
