"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," at 45 letters, appears in some modern dictionaries and, though it's a fairly recently coined scientific term for the lung disease that strikes folks who live near volcanoes (and breathe in silicon dust), may be considered to be the longest by some folks.
