This is not a word but a town name.
Llanfairpwygwylligongeragogogo is the name of a town in Wales, England although I may have the spelling a little wrong.

Chemical compounds can have a name that is millions of letters long, as it's name describes its basic properties. Aside from those, the 5 longest words are:
PNEUMONOÂULTRAÂMICROÂSCOPICÂSILICOÂVOLCANOÂCONIOSIS - 45 letters, a lung disease
HEPATICOÂCHOLANGIOÂCHOLECYSTÂENTEROÂSTOMIES - 37 letters, a surgical procedure
SUPERÂCALIÂFRAGIÂLISTICÂEXPIÂALIÂDOCIOUS - 34 letters, it's in the Oxford English
HIPPOPOTOÂMONSTROÂSESQUIPEDÂALÂIAN - 30 letters, pertaining to a long word
FLOCCIÂNAUCINIÂHILIPILÂIFICATION - 29 letters, used in a commercial, to deem something worthless.

If you are talking about in the English language it is pneumonoultra miscroscopicsilico volcanoconiosis (which i memorised how to spell) It's not super califragilistic expialidocious (which i also memorised how to spell) but there is a chemical name that is over 1,000 letters. It's only 1 word but i put spaces in it so it doesn't put the ... in.

What they said: supercali--well, you know the rest ;) I do know the longest word typed with the left hand is stewardesses though.
But if you want to get technical...
PNEUMONOÂULTRAÂMICROÂSCOPICÂSILICOÂVOLCANOÂKONIOSIS.
47 letters versus the 34 of SUPERÂCALIÂFRAGIÂLISTICÂEXPIÂALIÂDOCIOUS.
Interesting stuff...check the source ;)
