I would like to create a backup of my personal dictionary.
Where are words stored that I added via "Add word to dictionary"?
Below example shows Ghostwriter.

It would depend on the text editor or the application itself.
For ghostwriter the configuration area is:
~/.config/ghostwriter/dictionaries/personal
for Libreoffice
the configuration area is:
~/.config/libreoffice/[version #]/user/workbook
Replace [version #]
with the version you are running. Ubuntu 16.04 ships with version 4. So the area would be:
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/workbook
~/.config
area it'll probably make more sense.

Spend a little time to find it for TextStudio
in addition to the above hint:
~/.conf/textstudio/texstudio[locale].ign
where [locale] is the used locale like en_US. Note that it has the ign extension, like ignored words. Not sure yet how texstudio is differentiating ignored from added words.
The standard dictionaries are all located at one point, in my case
/usr/share/hunspell
could be an idea to use symlinks and put the user dictionaries in a shared folder. Most of the time the words not present in dictionaries are context related, company business ecc
