LiAM Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Thats right, post the longest word you know (including number of letters) (183 letters)Lopadotemakhoselakhogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphiokarabomelitokatakekhymenokikhlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptokephalliokigklopeleiolagōiosiraiobaphētraganopterýgōn Description:It is a transliteration of the Ancient Greek word λοπαδοτεμαχοσελαχογαλεοκρανιολειψανοδριμυποτριμματοσιλφιοκαραβομελιτοκατακεχυμενοκιχλεπικοσσυφοφαττοπεριστεραλεκτρυονοπτοκεφαλλιοκιγκλοπελειολαγῳοσιραιοβαφητραγανοπτερύγων in the Greek alphabet (1169-74). Liddell and Scott translate this as "name of a dish compounded of all kinds of dainties, fish, flesh, fowl, and sauces." The original Greek spelling had 171 characters (something which is not obvious in the Roman transcription, depending on the variant) and for centuries it was the longest word known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroG Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The longest word in any language is the chemical formula for Titan (which is still considered a word). It is 189,819 letters long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiAM Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The longest word in any language is the chemical formula for Titan (which is still considered a word). It is 189' date='819 letters long.[/quote'] you got that form wikipedia as well, and its not actually considered a word, in the dictionary, all words used from chemical compounds etc. are called by there chemical name, example: protein, carbohydrate, glucose etc. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroG Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Not Wikipedia, I just happened to know it. Also, the dictionary is a terrible barometer for what constitutes a word.If everyone used the dictionary like a bible, words would never get added. I don't only consider the dictionary, as it is very arbitrary and limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 The chemical name of titan. I could post it, but I'd have to break the "no consecutive posting" rule in order to do so, as it exceeds the character limit by over 3 times, weighing in at 189819 letters. So I won't.

Careless Whisper Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Longest word I know (and I know someone who has it too and he's scared to death by it. Which makes the word quite ironic.)
