This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

(45) PNEUMONO ULTRA MICRO SCOPIC SILICO VOLCANO CONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONO ULTRA MICRO SCOPIC SILICO VOLCANO KONIOSIS) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.
This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

(85) TAUMATA WHAKA TANGI HANGA KOAUAU O TAMATEA TUUKAKA PIKI MAUNGA*HORO NUKU POKAI WHENUA KITANA TAHU
A hill in New Zealand. This Maori name was in general use, but is now generally abbreviated to Taumata. The name means: the summit of the hill, where Tamatea, who is known as the land eater, slid down, climbed up and swallowed mountains, played on his nose flute to his loved one.

If you read the whole post, you would have seen that I said that it was not technically a competitor for the record. I also posted the actual longest word directly underneath it. Please do not post without reading the full thread.

names dont count also spaces between words dont count eather, or my full name would be longer than antidisestablishmentarianism therfor the new longest name in the world, names for places or people dont count so it is still the longest SINGLE WORD in the english language /facepalm

Yeah, I guess your are. You must login or register to view this content.

The spaces are only there for pronunciation purposes. They are single words. Don't argue with me, for I am right and know what I am talking about. Also, if you look at the actual site, you can clearly see that they do not have spaces in the word, but when I copy pasted the words, spaces were inserted.
