NAME

       gaelic - a list of Scots Gaelic words

DESCRIPTION

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

FILES

       /etc/dictionaries-common/words    is    a   symbolic   link   to   a   /usr/share/dict/<language>   file.
       /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to /etc/dictionaries-common/words, and  is  the  name  by  which
       other  software  should  refer  to  the  system  word  list.   See  select-default-wordlist(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/french and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of French and
       Danish words if they exist.  Such lists should be coded using the ISO 8859-1 character set encoding.

SEE ALSO

       ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

HISTORY

       The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.

       The system word list used to be /usr/dict/words.  For compatibility, software should check that  location
       if /usr/share/dict/words does not exist.
