Seems to me that it is up to the people who use those "other
spell-checkers" to enhance ispell.el to support them.  This is the
first time I personally hear that many languages are left out because
the spellers which support them don't provide the Ispell-like
interface which Emacs expects.  If there are so many of them, where
are all those users? why didn't anyone submit changes to ispell.el to
support those languages and spell-checkers?  Why didn't you, for that
matter?
