A misspelling magnet

The generator records 9 spelling variants around Alabama (IPA [alaˈbaːma]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #25,027 among 6,976 “A” headwords. Dominant gloss: "US-Bundesstaat im Süden der USA".

Our generated misspelling index lists 9 likely wrong-spelling variants for Alabama, with forms such as "aalbama", "alaabma", and "alabaam". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.

No borrowing history is documented for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is Alabama, spelled A-L-A-B-A-M-A.
