For Persian... Well, we have plenty of evidence of hyphenation, at least in Movable Type sources, starting from 1970's, and possibly earlier. Also, I remember seeing it in more recent publications, some computer typeset, but in extreme situations thought, like very narrow columns. Also, I remember being taught about it in elementary school (4th grade, IIRC), specially as a writing practice. It was not in the books, AFAIR, but the teacher would teach you in the class. Although, I don't remember if the teacher asking us to break the word at segment boundary, but have a fuzzy memory of being taught to break it as syllable boundary. I looked at many of the language and writing 1-12 books today hoping to find some mention of hyphenation. No luck. Based on these, I think it's better to document it, as a last resort solution for some languages, including Persian, with explanation of both inter-segments and inter-syllable methods. @shervinafshar, @mostafah, what do you think? Do you have better material on this? Maybe in Adib-Soltani book?
