Where “Denmark” sits in German frequency
Rare enough to double-check
Denmark is uncommon German at frequency #62,310 among 45,632 “D” headwords, classed as aproper noun, transcribed [ˈdenmɑːk]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Dänemark".
No generated misspelling entries exist for Denmark in our index, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. 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.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct German form is Denmark, spelled D-E-N-M-A-R-K.
