What are some of the longest words in different languages?

Answer 1

Hippopotomonstroses- quippedaliophobia = fear of long words.

Some languages, but not English, are constructed in a way that allows words to be very long, you can add many words together as one. As an example (a rather short one) "Internetuppkopplings- sladdsanordning" means Internet connection wire device in Swedish. Totally useless word and it's hard to read to, but still it's a single word.

(Lol, the words were even to long for yahoo to allow. A clear case of Hippopotomonstroses- quippedaliophobia )

Answer 2

"antidisestablishmentarianism", a word from American political history, is often considered the longest word in English, though I don't know if it is true. German and Turkish both have some very long words because they tend to string concepts together.

Answer 3

There is a very long name for an otherwise dull little place in North Wales. Llanfairpwllgwyngyll
gogerychwyrndrobwll
llantisiliogogogoch

That is all one word, but for some reason not all of it could be included at once on this page!

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Answer 4

"Antidisestablishmentarianism" is NOT from American political history, but from 19th century BRITISH political history.

Here's a long word from Wichita: kiyaakiriwaac'arasarikita'ahiirikss [the three dots are actually the letters rikss; I guess Yahoo doesn't like really long words in Wichita] ('by making many trips [the squirrel] carried a large quantity of meat up into the top [of the tree]'
