NAME
french - a list of french words
DESCRIPTION
/usr/share/dict/french is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.
FILES
/etc/alternatives/dictionary is a symbolic link to a /usr/share/dict/<language> file. /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to
/etc/alternatives/dictionary, and is the name by which other software should refer to the system word list. See update-alternatives(8) for
more information.
The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/ameri-
can-english and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of English and Danish words if they exist. Such lists should be coded
using the ISO 8859-1 character set encoding.
SEE ALSO
ispell(1), update-alternatives(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
HISTORY
The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.
AUTHOR
Word lists are collected and maintained by various authors.
