My point: It is difficult or even impossible for people to add a new
spellcheck in Chromium.

It does not take short period for a language to collect enough statistics to build a spellchecker.  At least it takes the following steps:
1. Well documented.
2. Revival it for using it more.
3. Have enough articles to generate statistics, or have an organization to check every text produced and justified about the spelling / orthography.
4. Generating the .dic / .aff

I read from Wikipedia and Evertype.com that Ireland that nearly a
hundred years to revival the written Irish Gaelics.  And now, the
aboriginal Taiwanese started to have textbook in their own around ten
years ago.  It is about the time the first generation of kids educated
in their aboriginal language are capable to analyse their native tongue.
I see studies of their languages as well as language tools emerging.

Title:
  Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages. It
  does not follow the Ubuntu Language Support Standard (gnome-language-
  selector).

  Language Support (gnome-language-selector) has a feature which allows
  you to gray out languages you are not interested in seeing and black
  in the languages you would like to see. Mozilla apps should follow
  this or should at least offer a workaround allowing a user to disable
  certain languages.
