Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Sarajevo, with forms such as "asrajevo", "saarjevo", and "saraejvo". 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. No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.

This entry's etymology isn't recorded, 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 Sarajevo, spelled S-A-R-A-J-E-V-O.
