What is the longest english word?

Answer 1

pneumonoultramicroscopisilicovovocanocon...

Answer 2

The longest word listed in a dictionary (as far as I know) is

pneumonoultramicroscopi csilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters long, appears in the Oxford Concise English Dictionary), but like that protein name, it is a medical term and probably doesn't count. It's also one word, I had to break it up otherwise it doesn't display correctly.

Answer 8

'antidisestablishmentarianism' is generally acknowledged to be the longest word in the English language; that mile-and a half-long protein name that has been given is a brilliant answer, but I don't think such names are considered a true part of the language. Basically, if it isn't in the Oxford dictionary, then it isn't a part of the language (I'm guessing)

Answer 9

smile because it can travel a mile!
