An unofficial dictionary for Albanian (sq) is available at http://psychology.rutgers.edu/~zaimi/software.html. However, I can not find any contact information for the author, thus I have been unable to contact him. In addition an Albanian (sq) dictionary is available for Ispell at http://www.7kosova.com/kde-shqip/ispell/ispell.html. However, the raw word list is not provided and the author has not been responding to emails, possibly because he doesn’t speak English. If you have any additional information on either of these dictionaries, or can speak Albanian and can translate for me please let me know at kevina@gnu.org

An unofficial dictionary for Malayalam (ml) is available at http://in.geocities.com/paivakil/downloads/aspell/. I am working with the author to create an official one.

A dictionary marked as "Planned" or "Maybe" but not listed in the section means that someone has expressed an interest in creating one. If you are interested in helping please contact me at kevina@gnu.org so that I can put you in touch with them.
