I asked about the same thing a while ago :-)

I'll copy what I use:

/usr/local/bin/alpine_aspell

#!/bin/bash
read -p "Aspell: Select language: (US) UK ES FR " -s -n 1
case $REPLY in
      2|[Uu]) opts=( -l en_GB.UTF-8 ) ;;
      3|[Ee]) opts=( -l es_ES.UTF-8 ) ;;
      4|[Ff]) opts=( -l fr_FR.UTF-8 ) ;;
      *)      opts=( -l en_US.UTF-8 ) ;;
esac
exec aspell ${opts[@]} -e -c $1


Another one that was posted, but that I do't use:

#echo "Aspell options"
#PS3="Select language 1-4: "
#select name in EN UK ES FR ; do
#    case $REPLY in
#        2|[Uu]) opts=( -l en_GB.UTF-8 ) ;;
#        3|[Ee]) opts=( -l es_ES.UTF-8 ) ;;
#        4|[Ff]) opts=( -l fr_FR.UTF-8 ) ;;
#        *)      opts=( -l en_US.UTF-8 ) ;;
#    esac
##    exec aspell ${opts[@]} -H -c $1
#    exec aspell ${opts[@]} -e -c $1
#done

and of course, change the configuration:

Speller                           = alpine_aspell
