What is the longest word in the english language with the most amout of vowels in it?

Question

Just curious what the longest word is with the most amount of vowels in it. I've got 7 vowels with Superannuation. Can you get any more?

Answer 1

floccinauchinihilipilification

has 14

onomatopoeically

is a word which is in more regular use which has 8.

Euouae

is the longest word to be made up of nothing but vowels

And check out this word (ignore the spaces. I had to put them in or yahoo knocks off the end of the word):

Donaudampfschiffah rtselektrizitätenhauptbetri ebswerkbauunterbea mtengesellschaft

It's the name of an Austrian company, which doesn't have a lot to do with this question, but it made me smile :)

Answer 2

Antidisestablishmentparlimentarianism
- 14 vowels

Answer 3

Discounting foreign words, proper nouns (like that company name) technical terms (diseases and chemical names, neither of which are constructed using the same rules as English) and all other dubious confections the the vote has to be for "antidisestablishmentarianism" which has eleven vowels. This is a real word, used in real writings in the 19th century when the debate about state and religion was reaching a peak.

Answer 4

Antidisestablishmentarianism
think thats 11 vowels,

Answer 5

the longest in the dictionary is SMILES
there is a mile between the first and last letter
Only 2 vowels though

the longest word to complete is HELP
when you shout this on the phone after dialing 999/911

so i am not sure

Answer 6

PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­KONIOSIS) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.
This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

Answer 7

The longest word, by far, is a lung disease.

It is Pneumonoultramicroscopic-
silicovolcanoconiosis.

Broken down, it is pronounced as follows: Pneumono (Numono) Ultra Microscopic Silico Volcano Coniosis

Broken down, it means: Pneumono (wind or air - referring to the lungs) Ultra Microscopic (VERY small) Silico (a silicon-dust based disease) Volcano (origin is volcanic activity, but mostly found in caves) Coniosis (a disease)

Answer 8

I always like the Hawaiian state fish:
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
