Using the American English dictionary for spell-checking that language
is hardly useful. You need to install a dictionary for the language
and the use "M-x ispell-change-dictionary" to switch to that
dictionary. Only after that the use of ispell-buffer can be expected
to produce useful results.

It's a known limitation of Ispell the program. That program is
obsolete for many years, for that reason.
I suggest to install Hunspell or Aspell, together with the dictionary
for that language, and then Emacs will be able to spell-check this
text.
