pneumonoÂultraÂmicroÂscopicÂsilicoÂvolcanoÂconiosis, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of volcanic ash. This word was discovered as a HOAX however and does not really count. The Oxford English Dictionary contains pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30 letters). The longest non-technical word is flocciÂnauciÂnihiliÂpiliÂfication at 29 letters. Consisting of a series of Latin words meaning "nothing" and defined as "the act of estimating something as worthless," its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741.AntiÂdisÂestablishmentÂarianism (a nineteenth century movement in England opposed to the separation of church and state) at 28 letters is still in colloquial currency for being one of the longest words in the English language. The longest word which appears in William Shakespeare's works is the 27-letter honorificÂabilitudÂinitatibus, appearing in Love's Labour's Lost.
In his play Ecclesiazousae ("The Assemblywomen"), the ancient Greek comedic playwright Aristophanes created: Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphio-paraomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonop-tekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon, a word of 183 letters that describes a dish by stringing together its ingredients.
I know all of this is very confusing. lol... go here and look up everything else, this is where I got my information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_English

"antidisestablishmentarianism"
In the nineteenth century Church of England, "antidisestablishmentarians" were opposed to proposals to remove the Church's status as the state church of England. The movement succeeded in England, but failed in Ireland and Wales, with the Church of Ireland being disestablished in 1871 and the Church of Wales in 1920.
Antidisestablishmentarian members of the Free Church of Scotland delayed merger with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in a dispute about the position of the Church of Scotland.
