The longest word in any major English language dictionary is pneumonoÂultraÂmicroÂscopicÂsilicoÂvolcanoÂconiosis, a 45-letter word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of fine silica dust. 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.[1]
The Oxford English Dictionary contains pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30 letters).
The longest non-technical word in major dictionaires 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.[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]

Pneumonoultramicroscopic silicovolcaniconiosis may be longest word in the dictionary, but it isn't the longest word in the English language.
I don't remember the longest word, but I know that it had over 1,000 letters. I think it was a medical term, at that.
I saw it in a textbook when I was in middle school, but unfortunately have not been able to find it on the Internet.
There are a few other words that have more than 100 letters in them-- but again, they are all medical terms.
