Answer 12

Well, the most widely known longest town name in the world is probably Llanfairpwllg

wyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysili...

in North Wales.

There's also a hill in New Zealand called Taumatawhakatangi

hangakoauauotama

teapokaiwhenuakitanatahu.

But, the actual longest town name is the Thai name for Bangkok, which is Krungthepmahanakonbowornr

atanakosinmahinta

rayudyayamahad

iloponoparatanaraj

thaniburiromudo

mrajniwesmahasat

arnamornpimar

navatarsatitsakattiy

avisanukamphrasit.

(All of the names are one word.)

Answer 13

(ignore the spaces in the names - YA isn't liking these names!)

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychw yrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (Llan-gogoch to long suffering locals) has long been claimed as the longest town name in the world. However, a town in Thailand is called Krungthepmahanakornamorn ratanakosinmahintara yutthayamahadilokphop

nopparatrajathaniburirom udomrajaniwesmahasatharn

amornphimarnavatarnsa thitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit

However, it is not recognised by the Guiness Book of Records.

The longest place name (not town name) in the world is a hill in New Zealand called Tetaumatawhakatangihang akoauaotamateaurehaeaturi pukapihimaungahoronuku pokaiwhenuaakitanarahu.

Answer 14

It's all one word and 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".

That's the longest place name in Wales and the world.

Answer 15
