withCString uses the systems locale to transform a haskell String to a char * for the C API. Its unclear, wether that is the behaviour, hunspell the library expects.

As it is unclear, what encoding hunspell the library expects, I didn't prepare a PR, but created this ticket to track the issue.

Asking hunspell, whats the behaviour here: hunspell/hunspell#588

Would this explain why I'm getting

λ> import Language.Hunspell
λ> checker <- createSpellChecker "/usr/share/hunspell/nb_NO.aff" "/usr/share/hunspell/nb_NO.dic"
λ> suggest checker "omlop"
[ "omlp" ]

whereas

$ echo omlop | hunspell -d nb_NO
Hunspell 1.7.0
& omlop 1 0: omløp
