Otorinolaringoiatria (same as the Spanish above) Anticoagulazione Antinfiammatorio Italian does not really have very long words, as the rules for word formation are different. Pity!  |

The Dutch translation: superformiweldigeindefantakolosachtig has 2 letters more
 . And there's also the longest geographical name: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch , which is the longest word I know, really. |

In his play Assemblywomen, the ancient Greek comedic poet Aristophanes created a word of 183 letters describing a dish by stringing together its ingredients. that's the longest word in the world according to Guiness...
correct me if I am wrong or I need an update...
I can't type it because it's in Greek and you will not be able to read

"Trychotillomania" is not so very long, but a nice word. "Triskaidekaphobia" is another nice one. "Honorificabilitudinitatibus" is the longest word in English literature. It appears in Shakespeare's "Love's Labours Lost". -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

[QUOTE=BaldFriede] "Trychotillomania" is not so very long, but a nice word.
