Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis meaning a lung disease caused by breathing ultramicroscopic particles of volcanic silica. This word has never been used; it was artificially contrived to be the longest word in the English language.

the longest word in the English dictionary is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. It is 45 letter long word that was made up to describe a lung condition. The irony of this word is that the lung condition that is was supposed to represent was a hoax.

The longest word that actually exists and is not a hoax is floccinaucinihilipilification (which means the act of estimating something as worthless), this word measures in at 29 letters long.

and just for the fun of it, the longest word made of all vowels in the english dict. is Euouae measureing six letters.
