    that word would be--in the english language--

    Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

    Pneumonoultramicroscopic

    silicovolcanoconiosis

    the longest word in the world is

    Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerych

    wyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

    (both lines is one word--since it has 2 b broken up 2 b seen here :-)

    ADDED--

    Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia has 27 letters (but its not the longest :-)

    ADDED--again :-)

    seems there is an extraordinary long word of 189.819 letters!! & 1 with 183 letters.

    There are longer words out there.

    My favorite is Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia: fear of long words.

    The longest one i've encountered is the long form of titin.
