They don't belong to the file name.
Also, you don't need "-i" "utf-8" in the list of arguments, since that is the default. Finally, I'd suggest to use dictionary names that are identical to the file names, i.e. "de_DE_frami" instead of "german" etc. Then you could simply use nil for all the switches (assuming you install the dictionaries in the directory where hunspell expects to find them).
