THE LONGEST WORD OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE

The longest word listed in a dictionary is usually a disease. That word that we have come across is:

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis.

It is a word containing 45 letters! Please don't ask me how you pronounce it! If you come across a longer word, please do let me know.

Here is another example of a Long Word which contains 34 letters.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Besides, We do have genuine examples in our files.

Ther are:

Antidisestablishmentarianism (28 letters) andFloccinaucinihilipilification(29 letters)

These words are listed in some of our larger dictionaries. Other words(mainly technical ones) recorded in the complete Oxford English Dictionaryincludes:

otorhinolaryngological (22 letters)
immunoelectrophoretically (25 letters)
psychophysicotherapeutics (25 letters)

Most of those words are merely inventions and when they occur it is almost always as examples of long words, rather than as genuine examples of use.
