I once read about this word:

zandzeepsodemineraalwatersteenstralen

Which was supposedly the longest non-compound word in the Dutch language and meant 'to sod off'. Haven't found it in dictionaries since that one time, though.

That being said, Dutch allows for compound nouns, which would basicly mean you could just keep on tagging words to another word and you'd have a perfectly valid word. Example:

Hottentottententententoonstellingsorganisatorenvergaderingsruimtebekledingverkopersaktetas.

Which I just made up and means the briefcase of of a salesman of room decorations for the meeting rooms of organizers of exhibits of a special kind of tents called hottentotten tents. You can just add more things inbetween or after it to make it longer.

Hooray for Dutch, right?

Kind Regards

Ancient Greek:

"λοπαδο­τεμαχο­σελαχο­γαλεο­κρανιο­λειψανο­δριμ­υπο­τριμματο­σιλφιο­καραβο­μελιτο­κατακεχυ­μενο­κιχλ­επι­κοσσυφο­φαττο­περιστερ­αλεκτρυον­οπτο­κεφαλλιο­κιγκλο­πελειο­λαγῳο­σιραιο­βαφη­τραγανο­πτερύγων" <- This a type of stew and all the words are different ingredients.

Aristophanes 392 B.C.
