Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism is a 30-lettered inherited disorder that closely simulates the symptoms, but not the consequences of pseudohypoparathyroidism, thus it has mild or no manifestations of hypoparathyroidism or tetanic convulsions.
The longest word in any major English language dictionary is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease, but research has discovered that this word was originally intended as a hoax. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim

For your consideration and perusal:

The longest place name in the world spelled in English is Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphopnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharnamornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit
in Thailand, although it is more commonly known as Bangkok.
The longest place name in the United States (45 letters) is Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, a lake in Webster, Massachusetts. This is incorrectly said to be Algonquin for "you fish your side of the water, I fish my side of the water, nobody fishes the middle". It actually means "Englishmen at Manchaug at the Fishing Place at the Boundary".
James Joyce had nine 100 and one 101-letter words in his novel Finnegans Wake, the most famous of which is BababadalÂgharaghÂtakamminÂarronnÂkonnÂbronnÂtonnÂerronnÂtuonnÂthunnÂtrovarrhounÂawnskawnÂtoohooÂhoordenenÂthurnuk. Appearing on the first page, it allegedly represents the symbolic thunderclap associated with the fall of Adam and Eve.
In his play Ecclesiazousae ("The Assemblywomen"), the ancient Greek comedic playwright Aristophanes created: Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphio-paraomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonop-tekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon, a word of 183 letters.

There are hundreds of organic chemical names that are substantially longer than antidisetablimentarianism. pneumconiosis derived word variations. (the latter is a fance name for black lung disease if cial miners. The previous word described. Antidisestablished protest sects/deniminations. The established Church in England is the Church of England a.k. a. Anglican Church that is called the Espiscolpal Church in the U.s. (episcopal means Bishop). Those non Roman Catholic Protestants that were not adherarants of the established church were called dissenters and not members of the established church. (e.g. Quakers, Unitarians, laterly Wesleyans, (= Methodists), Baptists, etc. etc.).
The framers of the U.S. Constitution took special steps to outlaw a state established church. (see the first amendment in the Bill of Rights.)
Hope that helps.

Pneumonoultramicrosxcopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is defined as "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica (sandlike) dust, mostly found in volcanoes". It was originally coined simply to serve as the longest English word, but has been used in several sources as an approximation of its originally intended definition. The name generally used to describe this condition is pneumoconiosis, which is much shorter.

antidisestablishmentarianism, I'm not sure what it means, but I am going to guess-
anti-against
dis-not (possibly?)
establishment-obvious...
arian-a person like a humanitarian
ism-can't remember
so let me say it means against people who don't believe in establishments? That is the stupidest thing I can think of....but it's my guess....WAIT! hold on I just reread the question and it means in the word 'english' doesn't it??Is it 'shingle'? That is a covering you put on your roof, god, I am confusing myself....
