Please do let me know if you end up publishing a customized dictionary. If you find them useful please send me a quick email at kevin none of these dictionaries suite you (for example, maybe you want the larger dictionary but only use spelling of a word) additional dictionaries can be generated at or by modifying speller/make-hunspell-dict in SCOWL. The en_GB and large dictionaries are made available on an experimental basis. The en_US and en_CA are the official dictionaries for Hunspell. To get an idea of the difference in size, here are 25 random words only found in the large dictionary for American English:īermejo Freyr's Guenevere Hatshepsut Nottinghamshire arrestment crassitudes crural dogwatches errorless fetial flaxseeds godroon incretion jalapeño's kelpie kishkes neuroglias pietisms pullulation stemwinder stenoses syce thalassic zees Also, the general quality of the larger dictionaries may also be less as they are not as carefully checked for errors as the normal dictionaries. The large dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size 70 and may include multiple spelling for a word when both variants are considered almost equal. The normal (non-large) dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size 60 and, to encourage consistent spelling, generally only include one spelling variant for a word. The following dictionaries are available:Įn_US (American) en_CA (Canadian) en_GB-ise (British with "ise" spelling) en_GB-ize (British with "ize" spelling)Įn_US-large en_CA-large en_GB-large (with both "ise" and "ize" spelling) These dictionaries are created using the speller/make-hunspell-dict script in SCOWL.
