You should not need this at all. emacs24 should auto-detect available
hunspell dictionaries and offer them as possible choices when calling
`ispell-change-dictionary', doing proper communication in UTF-8 and using
[:alpha:] as you do for english (change that in your .emacs and see what
happens). 

I'd also doucle-check encoding for above diacritics, making sure they are
UTF-8 encoded as you declare them (but better use [:alpha:] as proposed
above).

Does this problem appear if you use automatically generated entries?
