When the Lilak project (پروژه لیلک) started in 2015, there was no spell checker for Persian language. So I decided to create the first spell checker dictionary for Persian language based on the Hunspell Spell checker.
At the beginning I started to prepare a list of Persian verbs with their past and present stems and their inflection forms. Then I started to collect the most commonly used words and phrases in Persian language.
All the words and phrases should be classified into their parts of speech.
The next step was assigning a pronunciation to each world based on the Persian phonemes.
It took almost one year to publish the first version of Lilak. Today Lilak has more than 100 thousand tagged words.
Lilak is part of google chromium project and it is available for use in Mozilla firefox and Libre Office.
This project is mainly developed by:
