[aspell-devel] Aspell and exotic languages

[Evan Martin]

Hello,

I'm curious about Aspell's support for non-European languages.  I've
seen at least two projects recently that spell-check Hebrew[1] and
Arabic[2] and neither of them seem to be extensions to Aspell.  Could
these projects be folded into Aspell, or would you say that some aspect
of those languages (perhaps the morphology?  I don't know how clever
Aspell is or whether it's all in the wordlist) is incompatible with
Aspell's design?

I'm sorry for the vague question.  I'm trying to determine whether I'll
need to target multiple spelling backends simultaneously or whether
Aspell will handle everything...
