I see the same kind of problem with Dutch.
The unknown wordlist shows 'Brazilië', which is 'Brazilië' in UTF-8
(Dutch for Brazil).
I've just checked the a-spell Dutch wordlist and Brazilië _is_ included.
$ aspell dump master /usr/lib/aspell/dutch | grep "Brazil"
Braziliaanse
Braziliaans
Braziliaan
Brazilianen
Brazilië
It looks like the dump prints a ISO-8859-1 coded list.
I think the manpage for aspell gives the answer:
<quote>
--encoding=string
The encoding the input text is in. Valid values are ``utf-8'',
``iso8859-*'', ``koi8-r'', ``viscii'', ``cp1252'', ``machine
!! unsigned 16'', ``machine unsigned 32''. However, the Aspell
!! utility will currently only function correctly with 8-bit encod-
!! ings. utf-8 support is planned for the future. The two ``machine
unsigned'' encodings are intended to be used by other programs
using the Aspell library and it is unlikely the Aspell utility
will ever support these encodings.

So it looks as if you may have to iconv the files before you test them
(or, even better, patch aspell so it supports utf-8 ;-)
