# Lilak, Persian Spell Checking Dictionary
[](https://travis-ci.com/b00f/lilak)
[](https://patreon.com/b00f)
[Lilak](https://github.com/b00f/lilak) is an open source project for generating Persian dictionary for [hunspell](https://github.com/hunspell/hunspell) spell checker based on Persian Morphology.
In Persian language affixes can change the meaning of the word. Some suffixes attached to a word as short form of verbs. Part-of-speech plays an important role in Persian language. In some cases the pronunciation of the word can change the suffixes. Check the code for more information.
Lilak has a [lexicon](http://lilak-project.com) of Persian words with part-of-speech tags. Lilak builds a dictionary for hunspell to predict the best form of compound words based on morphological rules.
