The Spanish entry for Corea del Sur is 13 letters long, classified as a proper noun, and transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as [koˈɾea ð̞el ˈsuɾ].

No misspelling variants are generated for Corea del Sur in our index, suggesting the orthography follows predictable Spanish patterns. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct Spanish form is Corea del Sur, spelled C-O-R-E-A- -D-E-L- -S-U-R, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
