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.
