Etymologically, the entry records: From the Wade–Giles romanization of the Mandarin 臺兒莊 /台兒莊 /台儿庄 (Tʻai²-êrh²-chuang¹). Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is T'ai-erh-chuang, spelled T-'-A-I---E-R-H---C-H-U-A-N-G, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
