These patterns are very outdated.  The current version of the patterns
(which is a file larger than a whopping 500kByte) is part of the
'tex-hyphen' bundle and can be found, among other places, in the
TeXLive git repository at

The abovementioned file is encoded in UTF-8, which you have to convert
to Latin2 by doing, for example,

```
iconv -f utf8 -t latin2 < hyph-hu.tex > hyph-hu.latin2.tex
```
