The longest word in the english language is:
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. It's a lung disease, known, rater more shortly as, silicosis.
You can find some more long words at my source.

There isn't any definitive "English dictionary." Each one will have a different longest word.
I believe the longest in the English is floccinaucinihilipilification, which at 29 letters is one letter longer than antidisestablishmentarianism, which is much more well known and usually considered "longest word." I think antidis... is included in the OED.

antidisestablishmentarianism - against the promotion of the removal of an establishment (mainly the government)... in essence, against the beliefs of an anarchist.

Mmmm.
There is a good website about long words.

My favourite is FLOCCIÂNAUCINIÂHILIPILÂIFICATION as it can be used to describe long words that have no meaning.
