## What it is
A monorepo of 92 normalized, installable Hunspell dictionaries in UTF-8, packaged as npm ESM packages (e.g. dictionary-en). Each package exposes aff and dic buffers for use with spellcheckers like nspell or nodehun.

## Use cases
- add spell checking to a Node.js app
- integrate Hunspell dictionaries with nspell
- build a spellchecker tool
- get word lists for a specific language
- check spelling in multiple languages programmatically

## When to choose
- you need Hunspell dictionary data in JavaScript/Node.js
- you want consistently normalized dictionaries across many languages
- you're building or integrating with a spellchecker like nspell or nodehun

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone spellcheck application or CLI
- you need grammar checking rather than spelling
- you need dictionaries outside the 92 languages provided
