Aspell spellchecking dictionaries for Hindi and
Marathi have been developed by janabhaaratii team and
are available for download
(ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/hi/ and
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/mr/). These
dictionaries are tested to be working in GNOME 2.8 as
well as on KDE 3.4). 
  We also have an online application (shabda sanchay)
to extract words from user submitted file to be added
to dictionary. Due to some problem with NCST server,
the application is not working. I will soon mail you
the link for the same.
