Estonian dictionaries for aspell, ispell, myspell
-------------------------------------------------
This package was assembled from several standalone files found at
<http://www.meso.ee/~jjpp/speller/>:

 * Affix file and wordlist for ispell.
 * Hyphenation pattern for OpenOffice.

The wordlist is based on work by the Institute of the Estonian Language,
subsequently improved by Jaak Pruulmann who also created the affix file.

The hyphenation pattern was originally created by Enn Saar for utilization 
with LaTeX, then converted to the OpenOffice format by Jaak Pruulmann.

Dictionaries for all three spellcheckers are generated for this package
using Debian packaging scripts created by Martin-Eric Racine.

Wordlist improvement
--------------------
Corrections to existing words and suggestions for new words are welcome.
Please send them to Jaak Pruulmann for inclusion in the next revision.

Encoding issues
---------------
All dictionaries are encoded in the ISO-8859-15 (Latin-9) character-set,
which is absolutely necessary to accommodate the plethora of foreign words
featuring S- and Z-caron that see daily usage in the Estonian language.

Estonian users are invited to replace 'locales' with 'belocs-locales-data'
for generating an Estonian locale that correctly defaults to Latin-9.
