<h3 class="section">5.10 AWLI files</h3>
<p>In order for Aspell to find dictionaries that are located in odd
places or not named according to <a href="Dictionary-Naming.html#Dictionary-Naming">Dictionary Naming</a>, an AWLI file
needs to be created for the dictionary and located in some place where
Aspell can find it.
<p>Each AWLI file has a name in the following format:
<pre class="example"> <var>language</var>[<var>region</var>][-<var>variety</var>][-<var>size</var>]-<var>module</var>.awli
</pre>
<p class="noindent">where the names have the same meaning as in <a href="Dictionary-Naming.html#Dictionary-Naming">Dictionary Naming</a>,
and <var>module</var> is the speller module to use, which should be set
to <var>default</var> for now since there is only one speller module.
<p>Each <samp><span class="file">awli</span></samp> file for an Aspell word list should then contain
exactly one line which contains the full path of the main word list.
