Abstract: Single error misspellings are the misspellings in which a word contains one error where as multi-error misspellings where a single word contains multiple instances of errors. This paper focuses on the contribution of Single/Multi-Error misspellings in Punjabi Typed Text and compares it with other languages like Spanish, English and Arabic. The statistical data we provide on spelling error patterns in Punjabi and their comparison with other data in other languages are the novel contribution of this paper.
