The longest word in NZ Maori (native language of NZ) is a place name:

Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukakapiki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­kitanatahuis the name! Not very easy to say!

It translates as The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.

It is one of the longest place names in the world according to Guiness Book of Records. It is the longest placename in an English Speaking country. This version has 85 letters, but there is another version of the name which has around 105 letters.
