Recently a friend shared a new word which they thought was the longest in English language. The word was "antidisestablishmentarianism." I read that and I thought, "whatever happened to supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."

Do you know any long words (English or another language) that you wish to share?

Gotta go German if you want long words. One of my favorite things about German actually.

@geoff1000 what language is it in?

@Sashamcgee German definitely has a ton. The only one that I recollect learning is "forschungsbeauftraughter."

The Welsh village railway station sign. In English, the name means "St. Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool of Llantysilio of the red cave".
