In Hungarian a word has usually 2500 forms. Therefore a Hungarian dictionary with all forms would contain 1 million * 2500 words, that is 2.5 GWords, approx 20 GBytes, that can not be handled by computers and handling it would make no sense.
Yes, hunspell handles that perfectly, it also handles vowel harmony.
What about Apertum to handle Hungarian? Muki987 10:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- I've played about with hunspell — one of its limitations iirc is that it cannot do generation, only analysis. My personal preference for handling languages like Hungarian and Finnish etc. is to use something like SFST (see also Omorfi). The problem of course is then to get someone to write the actual code. - Francis Tyers 12:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
