DESCRIPTION
/usr/share/dict/french is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.

/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.
