In my language, Greek, we have many long words. But the longest Greek word was made by the ancient writer Aristophanes, to describe a very comlpicated dish/food. This word was in one of his comedies ( "Hecclesiazouses"). The word has 170 letters and is in the Guiness Book of Records.

Welsh: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
rndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. (The site would n't take it all in one line for some reason.) 58 letters..51 in Welsh.(Ch,Ll are one)
It is the name of a small village on Anglesey,North Wales.
Translated it means:-
St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool of St Tysilio's church, by the red cave.
Why have you English not picked up on :
Floccynoccyhilypyliphication?.. I guessed the spelling.

SMILES - because there's a mile between the first and last letter.
Seriously, my mother was very fond of 'antidisestablishmentarianism'
She also liked phlochinochenahilapilification - forgive my spelling.

Donaudampfschiffahrts-
gesellschafts-
kapitänsmütze...
and you could continue to add...
which is one of the caracteristics in German.
I am being too lazy to translate, a couple of hints though:
Donau: Danube
Mütze: cap
