Ministerratsprotokolle: Dictionary files

This is a collection of Habsburg Monarchy dictionary files.

The .dic files contain UTF-8 encoded wordlists that may serve as helper files for spell-checking, training models for Named entity recognition etc. In general, this is german-language material, with the exception of proper names. Manual curation has been done to our best knowledge. Overlap in placenames is on purpose as several places fulfil multiple roles.
