Abiword uses two types of dictionary
ispell (the default, most versions use this)
http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/fmg-members/geoff/ispell.html

aspell (debian uses aspell, you can also compile abiword to use aspell)
http://aspell.sourceforge.net/

It always helps if you say what version of Linux you use.  Your linux
distribution will probably already include ispell (or aspell if you are
using Debian).  The documenation that comes with Ispell includes
instructions on how to make new dictionaries.

Abiword only uses a particular type of ispell dictionary, when you are
building make sure to build 8-bit dictionaries.

Good luck
