You know that Mountain Dew commercial where the guy is singing a song about the place with the really long name in New Zealand, that is supposedly real? Well, I want to know what that name is, written out. Thanks.

The name of the hill in New Zealand is:
Taumatawhakatangihangakoau-
auotamateapokaiwhenuakitana-
tahu, and means "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater,' played his flute to his loved one."

The longest town name in the world
is "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogery-
chwyrndrobwyll-lantysiliogo-
gogoch." It means "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave" in Welsh, and is the longest town name in the world.
It's in North Wales.

The name that wins the prize in the Guiness Book of World Records is the name of Bangkok in Thai:
"Krungthepmahanakonbowornra-
tanakosinmahintarayudyayamaha-
diloponoparatanarajthani-
buriromudomrajniwesmaha-
satarnamornpimarnavatar-
satitsakattiyavisanukam-
phrasit." Translated, it's an unabridged history of the city rather than a word.

The one in New Zealand is:

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu
This is Maori & translates into English as "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater,' played his flute to his loved one." or something close to that. :-)
