  • AdamTReineke, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Technically, it IS longer. The other name, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (58 chars), is the long version of the the name Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (20 chars).

    The recognized version of this name is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahul (86 chars) and the long version of this name is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu (92 chars).

    There are several variations however, so please check the Wikipedia articles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_the_English_language#Place_names

    Which translates into:
    The city of angels, the great city, the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city (of Ayutthaya) of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn.
