Spelling

Posted Apr 23,2009

Hammurabi or Hammurapi? Neanderthal or Neandertal? Genghis Khan or Chinggis Khan? Inca or Inka? Chac or Chaak?

Spelling questions such as these come up frequently at National Geographic magazine. Because of our in-depth research and tradition of consulting experts for articles, we tend to adopt more scholarly terminology than do other general-interest publications.
