A misspelling magnet

The generator records 15 spelling variants around Bratislava (IPA [bʁatɪsˈlaːva]), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #23,453 among 72,680 “B” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Hauptstadt der Slowakei".

Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for Bratislava, with forms such as "bartislava", "bbratislava", and "braitslava". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is Bratislava, spelled B-R-A-T-I-S-L-A-V-A.
