Hi, I have been able to install Aspell on Mac OSX. I've also downloaded the Language Toolkit. However, I'm still a little lost with the process. My needs are to create a word list for the Salish and Kootenai languages. Some notes and questions... 1. Do I need to have Aspell installed to create a word list, or can I just use the Language Toolkit? 2. The Salish and Kootenai alphabets use a subset of Unicode codepoints (approximately 60 each) that are basically a subset of IPA. I created what I believe is a valid character set. 3. Some unicode codepoints are not in the master Unicode.txt list (such as U+2C62 and U+026B)...can they be added? 4. I've tried to run the command to build a word list in Aspell, but get an error that the 'en' language cannot be found 5. If I need to uninstall Aspell, what commands should I use? Any hints or tips are appreciated. My paltry geeky bits are not getting what I need to from the docs.
