+The location of source files for Serbian spelling dictionary were downloaded
+from https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries/tree/master/sr (Serbian
+Spelling and Hyphenation for LibreOffice).
+
+Here is the content of original README file from the repository:
+
+ "LibreOffice Spelling and Hyphenation
+ extension package for Serbian (Cyrillic and Latin)
+
+ This extension package includes the Hunspell dictionary and Hyphen
+ hyphenation patterns for the Serbian language adapted for usage in
+ LibreOffice.
+
+ Serbian spelling dictionary is developed by Milutin Smiljanic
+ <msmiljanic.gm@gmail.com> and is released under GNU LGPL version 3 or
+ later / MPL version 2 or later / GNU GPL version 3 or later, giving
+ you the choice of one of the three sets of free software licensing
+ terms.
+
+ Serbian hyphenation patterns are derived from the official TeX
+ patterns for Serbocroatian language (Cyrillic and Latin) created by
+ Dejan Muhamedagić, version 2.02 from 22 June 2008 adopted for usage
+ with Hyphen hyphenation library and released under GNU LGPL version
+ 2.1 or later."
+
+
+This dictionary used to create Vim spl file is the result of merging the two
+LibreOffice dictionaries for cyrillic and latin script.
+
+The merge was accomplished by concatenating two .dic and .aff files (appending
+the latin to cyrillic).
+
+The first step was to fix both .aff files by adding a '.' at the end of every
+SFX and PFX directive and removing directives that are not supported by Vim
+(KEY, MIDWORD).
+
+Next, update the flags in latin .dic and .aff files so that the flag sequence
+continues monotonically after the last flag number in cyrillic .aff file.
+
+A couple of words in cyrillic dict used a latin codepoints for 'a' and 'e',
+that was also corrected.
+
+You should be able to reproduce this with these steps:
+ * Save the existing sr.aff and sr.dic files, if you have them, they will be
+ overwritten.
+ * Create a subfolder "new".
+ * Put 4 files downloaded from LibreOffice dictionaries GitHub repository in
+ it: sr.aff, sr-Latn.aff, sr.dic and sr-Latn.dic
+ * Open Vim and cd into "new"
+ * Execute: :so ../convert.vim
+ * The resulting sr.aff and sr.dic are created in the parent spell folder
+ (here).
+ * Now one can generate spl file as usual using the merged dic and aff
+ files:
+ env LANG=sr_RS.UTF-8 vim -u NONE -e -c "set enc=utf-8" -c "mkspell! ../sr sr" -c q
