The longest be conscious in any major English language dictionary is ' pneumonoextremelymicroscopicsilicovolca...? a 40 5-letter be conscious meant to confer with a lung ailment decreased in length from the inhalation of volcanic ash, yet analyze has got here across that this be conscious replaced into initially meant as a hoax. yet then, once you're asking a riddle then i'd likely say 'smile' starting up with an 's' ending a mile later.

it is 100% it is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis one place you can see for your self is: wikipedia.com look in the science part of it. you will see this word. it is about 44 letters long.
It use to be antidiesstablishmentarianism but now it is not. my mother thought it was the antidisestablishmetarianism, but now its not. I know this because my class had a contest to see who could find the biggest word. so i went to many resources and all of them were earthier anti. or pneu. so thats why i am 100% sure that it is pneu.:

I do not know if this has changed in recent years but it was once antidisestablishmentarianism - opposition to the withdrawal of state support or recognition from an established church, esp. the Anglican Church in 19th-century England

The longest non-technical word is Floccinaucinihilipilification.
It means: "the act or habit of estimating or describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by deprecation".

ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM:
originated in the context of the nineteenth century Church of England, where "antidisestablishmentarians" were opposed to proposals to remove the Church's status as the state church of England.
