This word succeeded electrophotomicrographically as the longest word in the English language recognized by the National Puzzlers' League at the opening session of the organization's 103d semi-annual meeting held yesterday at the Hotel New Yorker

PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS
meaning:
a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dus
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.

Well I know the correct answer upto the last alphabet.
But the word is soooo long that it will take more than 5 hours to types it which I can't do & it will not fit in the givin space.
Anyway be content with the knowledge that I know the complete word with its true meaning.

I'm not sure, but there's a welsh one that goes like this:
Llanfairpwllgwyngeddgolgerydd
-shwindrobwellllandisilio
-gogogoch. Hope I've spelt it right! (I can pronounce it though!)
Had to put some hyphens in because the computer wouldn't allow that length of word. (It's a place in Wales It means something about a whirlpool, a cave and a saint)
