Thanks for repaly and for information; I didn't know that Emacs 24 is updated
to find spellcheckers and configure settings on its own.

Unfortunately it does not work for me. If I remove that list I get following error:

" Starting new Ispell process hunspell with en_US dictionary...
ispell-get-decoded-string: No data for dictionary "en_US", neither in `ispell-local-dictionary-alist' nor in `ispell-dictionary-alist' "

However I have changed the list according to your instructions for diacritics to :alpha: and it works fine with Elis hunspell from ezwinport.

thanks for help all
