en_GB-ise Hunspell Dictionary

README file for English Hunspell dictionaries derived from SCOWL.
|
|
|
|
These dictionaries are created using the speller/make-hunspell-dict
|
|
script in SCOWL.
|
|
|
|
The following dictionaries are available:
|
|
|
|
en_US (American)
|
|
en_CA (Canadian)
|
|
en_GB-ise (British with "ise" spelling)
|
|
en_GB-ize (British with "ize" spelling)
|
|
en_AU (Australian)
|
|
|
|
en_US-large
|
|
en_CA-large
|
|
en_GB-large (with both "ise" and "ize" spelling)
|
|
en_AU-large
|
|
|
|
The normal (non-large) dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size 60 and,
|
|
to encourage consistent spelling, generally only include one spelling
|
|
variant for a word. The large dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size
|
|
70 and may include multiple spelling for a word when both variants are
|
|
considered almost equal. The larger dictionaries however (1) have not
|
|
been as carefully checked for errors as the normal dictionaries and
|
|
thus may contain misspelled or invalid words; and (2) contain
|
|
uncommon, yet valid, words that might cause problems as they are
|
|
likely to be misspellings of more common words (for example, "ort" and
|
|
"calender").
|
|
|
|
To get an idea of the difference in size, here are 25 random words
|
|
only found in the large dictionary for American English:
|
|
|
|
Bermejo Freyr's Guenevere Hatshepsut Nottinghamshire arrestment
|
|
crassitudes crural dogwatches errorless fetial flaxseeds godroon
|
|
incretion jalapeño's kelpie kishkes neuroglias pietisms pullulation
|
|
stemwinder stenoses syce thalassic zees
|
|
|
|
The en_US, en_CA and en_AU are the official dictionaries for Hunspell.
|
|
The en_GB and large dictionaries are made available on an experimental
|
|
basis. If you find them useful please send me a quick email at
|
|
kevina@gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
If none of these dictionaries suite you (for example, maybe you want
|
|
the normal dictionary that also includes common variants) additional
|
|
dictionaries can be generated at http://app.aspell.net/create or by
|
|
modifying speller/make-hunspell-dict in SCOWL. Please do let me know
|
|
if you end up publishing a customized dictionary.
|
|
|
|
If a word is not found in the dictionary or a word is there you think
|
|
shouldn't be, you can lookup the word up at http://app.aspell.net/lookup
|
|
to help determine why that is.
|
|
|
|
General comments on these list can be sent directly to me at
|
|
kevina@gnu.org or to the wordlist-devel mailing lists
|
|
(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wordlist-devel). If you
|
|
have specific issues with any of these dictionaries please file a bug
|
|
report at https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/issues.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT CHANGES INTRODUCED In 2016.11.20:
|
|
|
|
New Australian dictionaries thanks to the work of Benjamin Titze
|
|
(btitze@protonmail.ch).
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT CHANGES INTRODUCED IN 2016.04.24:
|
|
|
|
The dictionaries are now in UTF-8 format instead of ISO-8859-1. This
|
|
was required to handle smart quotes correctly.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT CHANGES INTRODUCED IN 2016.01.19:
|
|
|
|
"SET UTF8" was changes to "SET UTF-8" in the affix file as some
|
|
versions of Hunspell do not recognize "UTF8".
|
|
|
|
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
|
|
|
|
The NOSUGGEST flag was added to certain taboo words. While I made an
|
|
honest attempt to flag the strongest taboo words with the NOSUGGEST
|
|
flag, I MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT I FLAGGED EVERY POSSIBLE TABOO WORD.
|
|
The list was originally derived from Németh László, however I removed
|
|
some words which, while being considered taboo by some dictionaries,
|
|
are not really considered swear words in today's society.
|
|
|
|
COPYRIGHT, SOURCES, and CREDITS:
|
|
|
|
The English dictionaries come directly from SCOWL
|
|
and is thus under the same copyright of SCOWL. The affix file is
|
|
a heavily modified version of the original english.aff file which was
|
|
released as part of Geoff Kuenning's Ispell and as such is covered by
|
|
his BSD license. Part of SCOWL is also based on Ispell thus the
|
|
Ispell copyright is included with the SCOWL copyright.
|
|
|
|
The collective work is Copyright 2000-2018 by Kevin Atkinson as well
|
|
as any of the copyrights mentioned below:

|
|
|
|
Alan Beale <biljir@pobox.com> also deserves special credit as he has,
|
|
in addition to providing the 12Dicts package and being a major
|
|
contributor to the ENABLE word list, given me an incredible amount of
|
|
feedback and created a number of special lists (those found in the
|
|
Supplement) in order to help improve the overall quality of SCOWL.
|
|
|
|
The 10 level includes the 1000 most common English words (according to
|
|
the Moby (TM) Words II [MWords] package), a subset of the 1000 most
|
|
common words on the Internet (again, according to Moby Words II), and
|
|
frequently class 16 from Brian Kelk's "UK English Wordlist
|
|
with Frequency Classification".
|
|
|
|
The MWords package was explicitly placed in the public domain:
|
|
|
|
The Moby lexicon project is complete and has
|
|
been place into the public domain. Use, sell,
|
|
rework, excerpt and use in any way on any platform.
|
|
|
|
Placing this material on internal or public servers is
|
|
also encouraged. The compiler is not aware of any
|
|
export restrictions so freely distribute world-wide.
|
|
|
|

The "UK English Wordlist With Frequency Classification" is also in the
|
|
Public Domain:
|
|
|
|
Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2000 20:27:21 +0100
|
|
From: Brian Kelk <Brian.Kelk@cl.cam.ac.uk>
|
|
|
|
> I was wondering what the copyright status of your "UK English
|
|
> Wordlist With Frequency Classification" word list as it seems to
|
|
> be lacking any copyright notice.
|
|
|
|
There were many many sources in total, but any text marked
|
|
"copyright" was avoided. Locally-written documentation was one
|
|
source. An earlier version of the list resided in a filespace called
|
|
PUBLIC on the University mainframe, because it was considered public
|
|
domain.
|
|
|
|
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:31:34 +0100
|
|
|
|
> So are you saying your word list is also in the public domain?
|
|
|
|
That is the intention.
|
|
|
|
The 20 level includes frequency classes 7-15 from Brian's word list.
|
|
|
|
The 35 level includes frequency classes 2-6 and words appearing in at
|
|
least 11 of 12 dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts package. All
|
|
words from the 12Dicts package have had likely inflections added via
|
|
my inflection database.
|
|
|
|
The 12Dicts package and Supplement is in the Public Domain.

The 40 level includes words from Alan's 3esl list found in version 4.0
|
|
of his 12dicts package. Like his other stuff the 3esl list is also in the
|
|
public domain.
|
|
|
|
The 50 level includes Brian's frequency class 1, words appearing
|
|
in at least 5 of 12 of the dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts
|
|
package, and uppercase words in at least 4 of the previous 12
|
|
dictionaries. A decent number of proper names is also included: The
|
|
top 1000 male, female, and Last names from the 1990 Census report; a
|
|
list of names sent to me by Alan Beale; and a few names that I added
|
|
myself. Finally a small list of abbreviations not commonly found in
|
|
other word lists is included.
|
|
|
|
The name files form the Census report is a government document which I
|
|
don't think can be copyrighted.
|
|
|
|
The file special-jargon.50 uses common.lst and word.lst from the
|
|
"Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists" which is derived from "The Jargon
|
|
File". All of which is in the Public Domain. This file also contain
|
|
a few extra UNIX terms which are found in the file "unix-terms" in the
|
|
special/ directory.
|
|
|
|
The 55 level includes words from Alan's 2of4brif list found in version
|
|
4.0 of his 12dicts package. Like his other stuff the 2of4brif is also
|
|
in the public domain.
|
|
|
|
The 60 level includes all words appearing in at least 2 of the 12
|
|
dictionaries as indicated by the 12Dicts package.
|
|
|
|
The 70 level includes Brian's frequency class 0 and the 74,550 common
|
|
dictionary words from the MWords package. The common dictionary words,
|
|
like those from the 12Dicts package, have had all likely inflections
|
|
added. The 70 level also included the 5desk list from version 4.0 of
|
|
the 12Dics package which is in the public domain.
|
|
|
|
The 80 level includes the ENABLE word list, all the lists in the
|
|
ENABLE supplement package (except for ABLE), the "UK Advanced Cryptics
|
|
Dictionary" (UKACD), the list of signature words from the YAWL package,
|
|
and the 10,196 places list from the MWords package.
|
|
|
|
The ENABLE package, mainted by M\Cooper <thegrendel@theriver.com>,
|
|
is in the Public Domain:
|
|
|
|
The ENABLE master word list, WORD.LST, is herewith formally released
|
|
into the Public Domain. Anyone is free to use it or distribute it in
|
|
any manner they see fit. No fee or registration is required for its
|
|
use nor are "contributions" solicited (if you feel you absolutely
|
|
must contribute something for your own peace of mind, the authors of
|
|
the ENABLE list ask that you make a donation on their behalf to your
|
|
favorite charity). This word list is our gift to the Scrabble
|
|
community, as an alternate to "official" word lists. Game designers
|
|
may feel free to incorporate the WORD.LST into their games. Please
|
|
mention the source and credit us as originators of the list. Note
|
|
that if you, as a game designer, use the WORD.LST in your product,
|
|
you may still copyright and protect your product, but you may *not*
|
|
legally copyright or in any way restrict redistribution of the
|

WORD.LST portion of your product. This *may* under law restrict your
|
