There is a debate about the longest word in the English language; in my opinion it's floccinaucinihilipilificatious compared to the debate on
The current longest accepted word in English dictionaries (above) is questioned also being as that it was coined by a man in 1935 simply for the purpose of creating a new longest word. Though pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoco niosis does have a definition as a disease caused by inhalation of sulfuric dust in volcanic smoke, very prominent among mine workers and volcanic scientists.
As it is an open debate feel free to choose what you believe.
WARNING: Reading above "longest word" out loud may result in electroencephalographical complications.

The longest word in the English language according to Guinness is FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION. The lung disease one is the longest unnofficial word, cos it's a compound scientific term, and it's possible to make sceintific names stupidly long, like the 1700+ character one, but that's neverbeen in a dictionary.
The longest word entered in a dictionary anywhere is Swedish, and it's NORDOSTERSJOKUSTARTILLERIFLYGSPANINGSSIMULATORANLAGG-
NINGSMATERIELUNDERHALLSUPPFOLJNINGSSYSTEMDISKUSSIONS-
INLAGGSFORBEREDELSEARBETEN, which means "preparatory work on the contribution to the discussion on the maintaining system of support of the material of the aviation survey simulator device within the north-east part of the coast artillery of the Baltic."
