In Emacs, where is ispell's personal dictionary stored?, the documentation http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Spelling.html says
Your personal dictionary is specified by the variable ispell-personal-dictionary. If that is nil, the spelling program looks for a personal dictionary in a default location.
But where is this default location? In general, how to find out this?
C-h v ispell-personal-dictionary
"File name of your personal spelling dictionary, or nil.
If nil, the default personal dictionary, (\"~/.ispell_DICTNAME\" for ispell or
\"~/.aspell.LANG.pws\" for aspell) is used, where DICTNAME is the name of your
default dictionary and LANG the two letter language code."
~/.hunspell_es_AR personal dictionary for each language. Is there still only one personal dictionary for this variable?

aspell --lang=en dump configYou can setup anaspell.confin theetcdirectory and then store your personal dictionaries wherever you want.C-h v ispell-personal-dictionary(as @Lompik said). If that doesn't tell you all you need to know, click the link that takes you to the source code, and see what it uses as the default value.
