A free spell checker for the Arabic (ar) languages called Duali can be found at http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=duali. It uses its own form of affix compression. This needs to be converted to Aspell format. The author, Mohammed Elzubeir, expressed an interest in converting it but I have not heard from him in a while. If you are interested in helping with this conversion please let me know.

An Ispell hash table has been discovered for Albanian (sq) at http://www.7kosova.com/kde-shqip/ispell/ispell.html. However, the raw word list is not provided and the author has not been responding to emails. If you know how to disassemble a Ispell hash table or the where-abouts of the word list used to create the hash table I would appreciate hearing from you.

A dictionary marked as "Planned" or "Maybe" but not listed in the section means that someone has expressed an interest in creating one. If you are interested in helping please contact me at kevina@gnu.org so that I can put you in touch with them.
