  1. longest word is "pnemoneoultramicroscopicsilicovolanovol...


  2. Each word in the W.O.R.L.D. is the same size.

  3. osseocarnisanguineoviscericartilagninone

    rvomedullary

  4. biggest  MILE   it is one mile long.  smallest  is I

  5. The longest word in the english language would be: smiles

    Reason: because there is a mile between each letter *wink*

    Real Answer: PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCA...

    Debate is still out on this one though.

  6. antidistastablishmentarinism is pretty big...

  7. English efforts pale into irrelevance against the compounding habits of German.  A word that's genuinely been used is Donaudampfschiffahrts

    elektrizitätenhaupt

    betriebswerkbauunter

    beamtengesellschaft.  That's 79 letters and would actually require an additional 'f' by present rules.  That would result in Donaudampfschif(f)

    fahrtselektrizitäten

    hauptbetriebswerk

    bauunterbeamten

    gesellschaft.  It could translates as something like the Danube-steamship-travel-electrical-main

    -plant-construction-lower-officials'-s...

    At least, the Guiness Book of Records claimed this name was in use, but there are doubts.  Others prefer the much more recent 63 letter effort from a law passed in 2000: Rindfleischetikettierung

    süberwachungsaufgaben

    übertragungsgesetz.  This is something like the Beef-labelling-monitoring

    -affairs-implementation-law.

    However, Thailand goes still further.  The capital city often uses the very tame 'Bangkok' for international purposes and sanity.  In it's more enthusiastic moments it runs riot with 155 letters: Krungthepmahanakonbowornratanakosinmahin...

    onoparatanarajthaniburiromudomrajniwes...

    vatarsatitsakattiyavisanukamphrasit

  8. The "Hollywood" sign is pretty large. Whether it is actually the largest/biggest or not, I am not sure.

    The smallest words are probably those found on grains of rice, when people have written things like the Lord's Prayer on a grain of rice.

  9. As already indicated, the word with the most letters has a great many, and it is doubtful if anyone knows what it it is.

    There are many words that are spelled with one letter, such as 'I' and 'a' in English.  Adding exclamations results in 'o' being a word, and some dictionaries list each letter of the alphabet, simply because it is a letter of the alphabet.  Such letters also have traditional spelling, such as 'tee' for 't.'  What is true in English will be true in other languages as well.

    In our culture, a person who is aghast (badly upset) may drop his jaw and expel a little air in a soundless gasp.  If there were a word for it, it might be spelled with no letter at all.

  10. Big word - floccinaucinihilipilification  - at little or nothing.

    small word - a ; I ;

  11. Antidisestablismentarianism is the largest word recognized by major american dictionaries but I don't believe that qualifies it as the largest in the world.
