Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk) spelling dictionaries for LibreOffice
====================================================================

Version 3.0
Maintainer: Lars Bungum

This package updates the bundled Norwegian dictionaries (dict-no).
It replaces the Hunspell word lists for Norwegian Bokmål (nb-NO) and
Norwegian Nynorsk (nn-NO). Affix files are the existing spell-norwegian
affixes, recoded to UTF-8. Hyphenation patterns and thesauri are
unchanged from the previous dict-no package.


Spell-check word lists
----------------------

nb_NO.dic 708615 words (Norwegian Bokmål)
nn_NO.dic 540664 words (Norwegian Nynorsk)

Encoding: UTF-8 (SET UTF-8 in the corresponding .aff files).


Sources and licences
--------------------

1. Ordbanken (Nasjonalbiblioteket)

The morphological database Ordbanken was downloaded from
Nasjonalbiblioteket / Språkbanken. Full-form lists were taken out
of that download and used as the bulk of the spelling word lists.

2. New headwords from the 2018–2024 revision of Bokmålsordboka and
Nynorskordboka (CLARIN PUB +BY)

Additional lemmas for Bokmål and Nynorsk were taken from the
nyordslister published after the revision of the two official
dictionaries (2018–2024):

3. «Årets ord» from Språkrådet

Words of the year and related new-word material were collected
manually from Språkrådet’s public web pages and added to the
merged lists.


4. Full-form generation

Full-form lists for the new lemmas were created according to
Ordbanken’s own code / inflection machinery, so that inflected
forms follow the same patterns as the rest of the dictionary.


Affix files, hyphenation, and thesaurus
---------------------------------------

nb_NO.aff, nn_NO.aff, hyphenation patterns, and thesauri originate
from the spell-norwegian project and the previous LibreOffice dict-no
package.

Copyright: The spell-norwegian project
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/spell-norwegian/
Licence: GNU GPL version 2 (see COPYING)

The affix files in this update differ from upstream only by encoding:
SET ISO8859-1 was changed to SET UTF-8, and the files were recoded
from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 so they match the UTF-8 .dic files.


File layout (matches dictionaries/no in dictionaries.git)
---------------------------------------------------------

nb_NO.aff / nb_NO.dic Hunspell, locale nb-NO
nn_NO.aff / nn_NO.dic Hunspell, locale nn-NO
hyph_nb_NO.dic hyphenation, locale nb-NO
