"Official" longest word\nThe Guinness Book of Records, in its 1992 and subsequent editions, declared the "longest real word" in the English language to be floccinaucinihilipilification at 29 letters. Defined as the act of estimating (something) as worthless, its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741. In recent times its usage has been recorded in the proceedings of the United States Senate by Senator Jesse Helms, and at the White House by Bill Clinton's press secretary Mike McCurry, albeit sarcastically. It is the longest non-technical word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. The acceptability of the 33-letter adverbial form floccinaucinihilipilificastically is subject to controversy.

Due to width limit on Y!A, some of these words are not in their completion and will be noted with an ellipsis (...).  Please visit the sources links for the full spelling.\n\n\n(45 Letters) PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS (also spelled PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­KONIOSIS) = a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.\nThis is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.\n\n(37 Letters) HEPATICO­CHOLANGIO­CHOLECYST­ENTERO­STOMIES = a surgical creation of a connection between the gall bladder and a hepatic duct and between the intestine and the gall bladder.\nThis is the longest word in Gould's Medical Dictionary.\n\n(34 Letters) SUPER­CALI­FRAGI­LISTIC­EXPI­ALI­DOCIOUS = song title from the Walt Disney movie Mary Poppins.\nIt is in the Oxford English Dictionary.\n\n"But then one day I learned a word\nThat saved me achin' nose,\nThe biggest word you ever 'eard,\nAnd this is 'ow it goes:\nSupercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"\n\n(30 Letters) HIPPOPOTO­MONSTRO­SESQUIPED­AL­IAN = pertaining to a very long word.\nFrom Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual, Obscure and Preposterous Words.\n\n(29 Letters) FLOCCI­NAUCINI­HILIPIL­IFICATION = an estimation of something as worthless.\nThis is the longest word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Interestingly the most common letter in English, E, does not appear in this word at all, whilst I occurs a total of nine times. The word dates back to 1741. The 1992 Guinness Book of World Records calls flocci­nauci­nihili­pilification the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary, and refers to pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­koniosis as the longest made-up one.\n\n(28 Letters) ANTI­DIS­ESTABLISH­MENT­ARIAN­ISM = the belief which opposes removing the tie between church and state.\nProbably the most popular of the "longest words" in recent decades.\n\n(27 Letters) HONORI­FICABILI­TUDINI­TATIBUS = honorableness.\nThe word first appeared in English in 1599, and in 1721 was listed by Bailey's Dictionary as the longest word in English. It was used by Shakespeare in Love's Labor's Lost (Costard; Act V, Scene I):\n\n"O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words.\nI marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;\nfor thou art not so long by the head as\nhonorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier\nswallowed than a flap-dragon."\n\nShakespeare does not use any other words over 17 letters in length.\n\n(27 Letters) ELECTRO­ENCEPHALO­GRAPHICALLY\nThe longest unhyphenated word in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th Ed.), joint with ethylene­diamine­tetraacetate (see below).\n\n(27 Letters) ANTI­TRANSUB­STAN­TIA­TION­ALIST = one who doubts that consecrated bread and wine actually change into the body and blood of Christ.\n\n(21 Letters) DIS­PRO­PORTION­ABLE­NESS and (21) IN­COM­PREHEN­SIB­ILITIES\nThese are described by the 1992 Guinness Book of World Records as the longest words in common usage.\n\nSome say SMILES is the longest word because there is a MILE between the first and last letters!\n\nChemical Terms\nTwo chemical terms (3,641 and 1,913 letters long) have appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records. They were withdrawn because they have never been used by chemists, and there is no theoretical limit to the length of possible legitimate chemical terms. A DNA molecule could have a name of over 1,000,000,000 letters if it was written out in full.\n\n(1,185 Letters) ACETYL­SERYL­TYROSYL­SERYL­ISO­LEUCYL­THREONYL­SERYL­PROLYL­S

The easy answer is that the two longest countries in South America are Chile and Argentina.\n\nHowever, it may depend on what specifically you mean by "longest."  Chile is definitely the longest, north to south; but Brazil is actually longer than Argentina, thought it does not look so because it is also quite wide.

It is pnumonoultramicroscopicsilico volcanoconiosis (45 letters), which first appeared in Oxford but is now in other major dictionaries. It describes a lung disease.\n\nThe longest non-technical word is flocci­nauci­nihili­pili­ficat ion (29 letters), meaning something worthless.\n\nAnother very common long word is antidisestablishmentarianism, which is only 28 letters.\n\nThere exist very long (1000 letter) scientific words that have never appeared in major English dictionaries, and only appear in some scientific dictionaries.\n\n\nNote: The spaces are there to keep Yahoo from putting in the "..." symbol, but in the real words they should not be.
