A lot depends on the kind of language: does it have lots of inflectional 
morphology?  Free compounding?  Those would make it hard to create a 
spell checker without a morphological parser.

(If it doesn't put spaces between words in the writing system, like 
Thai, that would also be a problem.  But I'm guessing that's not the case.)
