Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for yucateco, with forms such as "uycateco", "ycuateco", and "yuacteco". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
