Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis! Wow!! This is the longest word that i have ever read in my life and the longest word in the english dictionary. It's a lung disease also known as "black lung" caused by breathing in fine silica dust found inside dead volcanoes. The disease causes the person to cough up black phlegm and blood.
In german the longest word is:
Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft

- a proper Swedish word, which is even too long for Google to lookup!
