Word list and spell checking for Frisian (fy), a West Germanic language spoken mostly in the province of Friesland (Fryslân) in the north of the Netherlands. Note that with Frisian here, West Frisian is implied.
The source for the word list and spell checking, with permission and under the same license, is the Fryske Akademy.
Install the word list and spell checker packages from the packages directory
with the command sudo dpkg -i followed by the filenames of the packages that
need to be installed.
Command-line spell checkers such as Hunspell and Nuspell as well as GUI applications such as LibreOffice and Mozilla's Firefox are able to use the Frisian spell checker.
The word list in Latin script is in the ASCII file TODO
generated/frisian.
See the section on installation to make the word lists available as
/usr/share/dict/frisian and as symbolic links /usr/share/dict/frysk and
/usr/share/dict/fries.
Spell checker support has been made for Hunspell and
Nuspell. It can be found in the files
generated/fy_NL.dic and
generated/fy_NL.aff.
See the section on installation to make the spell checker directly available in
Hunspell and Nuspell. It will install the .aff and .dic files in
/usr/share/hunspell. Example usage then is:
hunspell -d fy_NL -a /usr/share/dict/frisian
nuspell -d fy_NL /usr/share/dict/frisian
See the test script on how to use the spell checker without installing the packages. Simply use absolute or relative paths.
To build, tast and package all the files, simply run the scripts in the
scripts directory in their order:
./1-download-language-support.sh./2-extract-files.sh./3-generate-files.sh(which calls3-generate-files.py)./4-test-spell-checking.sh(see the result in directorytest)./5-package.sh(see the result in directorypackages)
Note to update version number static/control* before building a new package.
