FrameMaker changed dictionary locations as of version 9. It now saves
them at the common location of
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\FMUserDictionary\all\added.txt.
I'm using FM 10, so assume FM 11 is the same. There is no version
structure showing on my computer. I don't believe FM 10 overwrote my FM9
dictionary way back when, but can't remember. If FM 11 is doing it, it
needs to be reported as a bug.
As a side note, even though the new dictionary is a .txt file, care is
necessary if you try to edit it directly. I messed mine up one time,
when I edited the file and the editor saved it with carriage return and
linefeed (CR LF) line endings. This caused failure as FM expects this
file to have LFs only! I was able to use Notepad++ to find the problem
and fix it.
There was a need to convert dictionaries from FM8 to FM9 when the
location/format change happened. Instructions for doing so are at the
bottom of this page (as well as the warning about editing the file
directly):

Every FrameMaker installer I have used (from 5.5.6 through 9 so far)
has always installed all the files in a separate, version-specific
folder within the Program Files folder. I have never had a problem
having two or even three different versions installed simultaneously
using the default installs.
