       standard

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/share/dict/galician-minimos 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.

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.
