       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/american-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.
