I have the same problem with afrikaans (for which I developed my own
ispell dictionary).
ispell -T TeX is not working for me. ispell -T tex and ispell -t
behaves identically which like this:
On the word re\"enwolke it will select re as a word and nwolke as the
next word which is not what I want.
My solution is to convert my file with emacs' iso-tex2iso macro. Latex
can compile that if you use \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}. I then then
use ispell with the -t -B options on that buffer.
If you are in emacs in an X-window, click on Help|Customize|Apropos
and search for dictionary which should result in:
