# Contributing pattern files for an existing language.
If you want to modify patterns for a language that already exists in our
repository, you should make sure that your additions dont interfere with the
current patterns. Its not recommended to manually add patterns to a list
generated by `patgen`: instead, modifications should be made in the hyphenated
word list that was used as a source, and the full set should be regenerated.
This of course does not apply to hand-generated patterns.
