Well I never cared for hyphenation in plain. But now I looked: plain
inputs a hyphen.tex. This hyphen.tex contains some pattern and
that's all. Language.dat is not used and there is also no
luatex-adapted version of hyphen.tex. So luatex and etex both
complain for every language:

! e-TeX error: language german undefined..
\et at xmsg ...lines =0 \errmessage {e-TeX error: #2}
