Answer 2

Define "English" . . . do borrowed words, such as most words used in the medical profession (which are borrowed from latin), count?

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

The longest non-technical word is flocci­nauci­nihili­pili­fication 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.[2][3][4] In recent times its usage has been recorded in the proceedings of the United States Senate by Senator Robert Byrd [5], and at the White House by Bill Clinton's press secretary Mike McCurry, albeit sarcastically.[6]

Anti­dis­establishment­arianism (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 currently used in the scientific field (which could be considered english) is the chemical name for tryptophan synthetase A protein. It has 1,912 letters, and, due to the fact that hte term was first used over 128 years ago, it originally had no spaces (it is common today to put spaces between parts of chemical names, therefore making them more than one word) and is considered a valid spelling.

due to sheer length, I ask you to visit this link to see the word
