Hi,
I am trying to prepare a moderate sized document in Malayalam using
Context. Overall I have been successful. However, there are a few rough
edges for which I need help. This is the third problem I face.

In most paragraphs, the sentences go beyond the right margin. How can I ask
Context to break the word at the margin, without hyphenating every word
manually?

Thanks,
ajith

Malayalam hyphenation may be invoked by setting the language appropriately. 
For quite some time now, ConTeXt ships with the patterns for Malayalam. Simply 
write 
    \language[ml]
in your document head.
