in babel *.ldf files, and in hyphenation patterns.

search for "providehyphenmins" in those files; you'll see something like:
\providehyphenmins{\CurrentOption}{\tw@\thr@@}

note that some pattern files also set \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin.

if an .ldf file nor the patterns for some language do not define
hyphenmins, they are set to default (2, 3).

Best,
