(Unless he is yelling...that is rather more like a sonic boom.)

Hey man listen here!! Mr. Cannibal is answering you!!\nWords in this nature are natural.\nWhen languages use words it means they discovered the words not invented!\n Now I must answer your question that English has the most words because this is very old language and also absorbed many words from other languages during occupying other countries.\nBut you don’t have to memorize all of them.\nAlso Happy Birthday to you.

"    * The longest common English word that can be typed using only the left hand (using conventional hand placement) is stewardesses. The words sweaterdresses and aftercataracts are longer and can also be typed with only the left hand, but they are not in all dictionaries.\n    * The longest English word that can be typed with the right hand only (using conventional hand placement) is johnny-jump-up, or alternatively polyphony.\n    * Typewriter is the longest word that can be typed on only one row, which might be no coincidence as some believe that Christopher Sholes deliberately placed all its letters in the top row when designing the layout in order to ease demonstrations. Proprietory, protereotype, and rupturewort are sometimes conjectured as the longest words but these are not available in most dictionaries."

The 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.

It isn't in the dictionary because you spelt it wrong. \n\nTry: Antidisestablishmentarianism\n\nFrom the Oxford English Dictionary:\n\nProperly, opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England (rare): but popularly cited as an example of a long word.  \n\n1900 N. & Q. 25 Aug. 147/1 In the recent biography of Dr. Benson is an entry from the Archbishop's diary to the effect that ‘the Free Kirk of the North of Scotland are strong antidisestablishmentarians’. 1923 in Brewer's Dict. Phr. & Fable (new ed.) s.v. Long words. 1960 Amrita Bazar Patrika 17 June 6/4 But then ‘Antidisestablishmentarianism’ contains three more letters, as pointed out by two readers. 1984 T. AUGARDE Oxf.

The answer really depends on what qualifies as a "word." \nFor example, chemical names can be thousands of letters long. If you wrote out the name of a DNA molecule, it would be over 1,000,000,000 letters. But are these really words? It seems even dictionaries can't agree. "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilico-volcanoconiosis" is the longest word in non-technical English dictionaries, but according to the Oxford English Dictionary, it is a fictitious word created just to claim the title of longest. \nOne of the longest place names is 92 letters, the name of a hill in New Zealand that is typically called just "Taumata." And for those with a sense of humor, "smiles" is considered the longest word because there is a "mile" between the first and last letters.

there's 'antidisestablishmentarianism' at 28 letters, meaning 'opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England'. It is often considered the longest word as it has an actual meaning instead of being created just to be long.
