The longest words in the Oxford English Dictionary are:

44 letters: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (a lung disease which nobody ever seems to get - it's suspected that this might be a word invented just to be very long)

29 letters: floccinaucinihilipilification (the estimation of something as worthless, in a jocular way, as in, 'Pretty? What, this old thing?')

28 letters: antidisestablishmentarianism (opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England)

The longest word in Britain is said to be the Welsh place name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. 55 letters. The Welsh write it Llanfair PG and nobody ever tries to say it except for a bet.
