ISPELL-ET -- Estonian dictionaries for ispell and myspell

---------------------------------------------------------

Homepage:  http://www.meso.ee/~jjpp/speller/

Wordlists

---------

The wordlists are based on work by the Institute of the Estonian Language,

subsequently improved by Jaak Pruulmann who also created the affix file.

Hyphenation pattern

-------------------

The hyphenation pattern was created by Enn Saar for utilization with LaTeX 

and downloaded from:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hyphenation/eehyph.tex

It was then converted to the OpenOffice format by Jaak Pruulmann.

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.

Dictionaries to accomodate the ISO-8859-1 legacy encoding still used on 

some operating systems are also included for completion, but obviously

won't successfully proofread words that use S and Z with a caron accent.

Wordlist improvement

--------------------

Corrections to existing words and suggestions for new words are welcome.

Please send them to the author for inclusion in the next revision.
