Sometimes when you typeset TeX documents, you may have some typos. You can then read your whole documents to find the typos but I guess that is tedious. Instead we can create a Persian dictionary for TeX and then if any word is not in our dictionary, it will be colored in red which makes fixing typos heaps easier (you do not need to read the whole documents). For this dictionary, I need a set of almost complete Persian words (which is used frequently). Anyone know where I can get such list of Persian words?

Thanks

Vafa,

You may find Virastyar data-files useful. One of Virastyar's main components is its Persian spell-checker. The related data files can be found in the following pages:

Please note that Virastyar is under continuous development, therefore these files may also get modified in the future. 

Regards,
Sina

Vafa, Sina,

There are also two other Persian Spell-Checkers available:
- Aspell's Persian dictionary at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/fa
- And another one for OpenOffice, contributed by Sharif FarsiWeb Inc, which had been used in Sharif Linux. I'm not sure where on web you can find it though.

Best,
-Behnam
