But what the longest word in the world?



The total chemical name of the largest protein contains 189,819 letters and is considered the longest word in any language.

Titin, also known as Connectin is a gigantic protein consisting of 244 individually folded areas of a protein connected by an unstructured sequence of peptides.

In addition, the titith gene contains the largest number of exons - 363, detected in one gene.

Titing plays an important role in reducing cross-striped muscle tissues, but it is most famous for its technical title, which is considered the longest word in any language of the world.

The name "Titin" is borrowed from the Greek word "Titan" (Giant Deity, Something big size). The chemical name begins with methionine ... and ends ... Isoleucine.

The full name of the largest squirrel would take a lot of space in this post, but you

If you really want to hear how the longest word in the world sounds, you can watch a video that takes almost 3.5 hours to complete this name.

Interestingly, you will not even see the full chemical name of Titin, as the compilers of dictionaries consider the names of the chemical compounds by a verbal formula, and not in the word. But no matter how you did not call this: the word, formula, or a whole story, it is extremely long.


The longest word in Russian has not yet been determined for a number of reasons. Theoretically, one of these words may be an adjective tetrahRidopyridine, consisting of 55 letters. But whether such a choice of the winner will be fair, because in analytical, suppose, chemistry, the names of substances can be built on a specific scheme and sometimes to achieve ways of space values.

Also, a frequent example is the constructing of the word by adding the console program to the method. Its quantity may be unlimited, therefore, letters in such a word will be abound.

Various words contained in themselves are numerable and denoting any value - a thousand-hour-sededey-semantimeter, or built by type eighty-year-old. To indicate age, for example, land. So opportunities for the wordness of the loss. Combine options can be quite long, because, as we know, natural numbers of darkness. That you can be given by the expression of the diameter of the Earth in millimeters, and you can only imagine how many letters will be in this newborn word. In view of this, the task of finding the longest word in Russian, alas, not crowned with success. Moreover, the majority of such words in the midster seems hardly a monster, and in ordinary speech are not completely used at all. Unless on a local scale. That is, it is quite possible to find the longest word among the parts of speech, for example, verbs or nouns.

Some difficulties also create a lack of agreement on whether different word formulations can be used. So, for example, in the book of Records Guinness in 1993, the Word of X-rayEelectrocardiographic (33 letters) was named after a long word, in the 2003 edition - a prevocate (35 letters). In the first case, an analogue of the Word could also be used and an analogue of e(42 letters). The disputes arose naturally, due to the fact that, as we can see, in the first case, the word is used in the parental case, and in the second version of writing, for example, in the same case, would be longer on the letter. In general, the word-record holders did not receive themselves recognized, because the information is quite subjective in nature and cannot be confirmed.

And how do you like the longest abbreviation? (56 characters)

HIIMTPLABOARMBTREBTEBSBORMYHMOHKO H-PLASTROSTROMOHT

Research laboratory of operations for concrete reinforcement and reinforced concrete work on the construction of collection and monolithic and monolithic structures of the department of construction and assembly management of the Academy of Construction and Architecture of the USSR. That is, you can imagine how the staff of this organization responded to the question of work.

Now let's talk about the most-most in your own way.

The longest adjective with a hyphen: agricultural machine-building (38 letters).
The longest nouns with a hyphen: a corter-bulldozer-loader and an insistentness is inanimate (31 letters).
The longest noun without a hyphena: waterproof therapist (29 letters).
The longest adjective without a hyphens: electropotopolum (28 letters). This data is kindly provided by the spelling dictionary of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The grammar dictionary A.A. Zaliznyak, published in 2003 believes that: the longest (in the letters) nine lexeme in dictionary form is an adjective private-winning (25 letters; Wordformes on and -im are 26 letters).

The longest verbs are to re-release, substantialize and internationalize. (All - 24 letters; the communion formed from them with the ending and read-by-checking - by 25 letters). The first time did not even immediately be able to present the meaning of the second word ...

The longest noun - mansomeness and highly expressive (24 letters; Wordformes on -I - 26 letters)
The longest animational lined nouns are the eleventh-grader (20 letters) and the recorder (21 letters), wordforms on -i - on 22 and 23 letters, respectively.

The longest adherent, fixed by the dictionary, is unsatisfactory (19 letters). Do not forget that from the overwhelming majority of high-quality adjectives on-and-and-and -s are formed, not always fixed by the vocabulary.

The longest interomotion included in the dictionary is a little rude physical council (14 letters).

The word, respectively (14 letters), is at the same time the longest pretext. The longest particle solely on the letter is shorter.

But besides long, little-known and highly specialized words, there are also champions in literature, for example, the word willingly, which Nicholas Leskov used in the story "Hare Remiz". There is no interesting thing that no one knows that the author himself has come up with him . But, probably, everyone can imagine its meaning.

Many still interesting hides our language, and I think the number of words-record holders does not affect the power and beauty of our Russian speech. Collecting information for this article, learned incredibly many curious things. And for some reason I remembered that the seven years thought that the word electrosinchrofazotron was - well, the longest, and Street Struboratofrankovskaya - Generally something from the category of fiction. Beliefs change ... And most importantly, the language is not static, and is replenished daily by neologisms; He lives, reborn, and it is not known what length the word-champion can become. Although, judging by the current desire of young shorten the word Before unrecognizable, it is also unknown who will win ...

And when I studied at the institute, we had a student in the group, who considered his last name of the longest in Russia - Skorobogatko - 13 letters, who else?

In the world there are a great many long, strange, sometimes even incomprehensible names of villages and cities, rivers and lakes, mountains and plains, and just names. All these names are generated by the human mind and fantasy, the limits of which, as you know, do not exist. As an example of a flight of fantasy and imagination, consider the names of some cities in the world and Russia.

In the world

On the eastern coast Chauphrai River, near her mouth, is one of the largest cities of Thailand with five million people. This is the capital of Thailand, the city of Bangkok. However, the real name of this city sounds somewhat differently - Krung-temperature, or the city of Angels.

This is the name of the city, from the point of view of its length, is not impressive. The thing is that we use more concise and convenient for pronunciation. The historic name of Bangkok is completely different. In the native language, it consists of 30 words and sounds like this: "The city of Angels, the impregnable and greatest, which is the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the greatest of the capitals of the world, enforced by the 9th century stones, decorated with the majestic royal palaces, beautiful, like a paradise place , the rules of God, the city, the city, given by Indy, and bought off Vissanuk.


Once upon a time Bangkok was called Venice of the East. This name the city was given ancient travelers who visited it about two hundred years ago. The name is chosen notunder, the city was at that time standing on the coast of the river, literally in the water. Soon the king of Ram V ordered to dull channels for drainage. So there were "water" streets that make it similar to Venice.


In the XIX century, these channels were covered with the earth and turned into roads. The motive for such changes served as a fashion for self-deviating crews, which was dominant in those days in Europe. Fashion was taken over by Thai kings who have received the opportunity to visit this country and see, and then adopt, fashionable innovation.


Until our days from Venice of the East, only a few blocks have survived, most of which are populated by poor living literally in shacks. Many of the shacks are an extension to other homes and do not even have their own postal address. However, here you can also see the mansions surrounded by lush gardens, in which the descendants of noble people live to this day. The streets of the quarter are represented by channels, as many years ago. They still serve water and even sewage. This ancient part of Bangkok is currently historical and cultural value and included in the tourist routes.


Modern Bangkok is a successfully developing city with a population of about 9 million people. Every year in two major airports Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang, arrive thousands of tourists who want to meet his sights. Bangkok is growing rapidly and develops, turning into a modern megalopolis, but he managed to preserve the traditional Asian culture. The city is rich in museums, old and newly erected Buddha temples.

In Russia

Russia is also rich in cities having long names. Moreover, in our country there are long names of cities consisting of the same number of letters and even words, so choosing a record holder for the length of the city name is almost impossible. Will be more appropriate to compare the length of the names not cities or sat down, but settlements.


A record long name belongs to a small village located in Zaraia district of the Moscow region. This is about Central Manor of the Outlook named after the 200th anniversary of the Great October. The village is part of Mashonovsky rural settlement. Now about 1,000 people live in it.

He appeared in 1933 and was the central estate of the state farm engaged in breeding pigs. At that time, he was called Kaganovich, but in 1957 he was renamed. Nowadays in the village there is a secondary school, a house of culture, kindergarten, post office, library and ambulatory, but there is no longer a pig farm there.


The longest name of the settlement consists of 27 characters and belongs to Selu Kremenchug-Konstantinovskoye. The village is located in Kabardino-Balkaria. Based in 1885, the so-called immigrants, originally from the Kremenchug province. They went to the Caucasus, in search of the best conditions for life. In the town of Kabarda, at the local prince on the surname of the Inalov, they rented land on which, subsequently downtown. Novoseli settled separate farms, giving each name formed from the name of the place from which they arrived. These names entrenched and exist so far, now as the names of the villages of the village.


The modern name, Kremenchug-Konstantinovsky, appeared after the farm was combined into a single settlement. The basis of his name was taken by the name of the first immigrants - Kremenchug and the name of the founder's immigrants - Konstantin. W. local residents There is an unofficial short name of the village, Konstantinovka cream, or even shorter - the Krem is.

There are two more villages in Russia, having record long names. This is Verkhnenovoktlumbetyevo, which is on Orenburg and ancient times, located in the Tambov region. In the name of these villages, Rovno 23 letters and there is no hyphen.

Any settlement from a giant megalopolis to a tiny village has a name and a tied story. Many of them were called in honor famous peoplewho made a noticeable contribution to the development of the local territory, others were called on the peculiarities of local nature. There are also cities that have so long names that they are not only pronounced, but not even remember. What is it - the longest name of the city?

1. Bangkok (Thailand)

The longest city name in the world marked in the all-knowing book of Records Guinness, contains 168 letters and consists of 20 words. Is it possible to write this on the envelope - well, if only with microchrif. And use somewhere in the digital world when registering?
This city is known for the whole world, but under another, much shorter name - Bangkok. The inhabitants of Thailand themselves in everyday speech call their capital Kruz Tekhep. As for his full official name, which secured in the middle of the XIX century, it sounds in Russian transcription as follows:
Krun Tekhep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Makhintaraythaya Mahadilok Phop Non-Paul Ratchanthani Burirry Udom-rounded Mahasatan Amon Piman Avatan Satit Sakkathattiya Vitsanuk Prasit.
In Russian, this small "story" can be translated as follows:
The majestic city of the Heavenly Angels, the settlement - the eternal diamond, an indistinct monastery of the majestic god indra, the greatest capital of all over the world, which nine beautiful precious stones, happier city, full of all kinds of density Royal Palace - Divine cradle, where the reborn almighty God sends, the city, given to people of the Grand Indy, and erected by the inviolable cheroscreen.
Now it is already impossible to accurately interpret the meaning of words used in the title of Bangkok, since many of them came out of use and are not familiar with modern Thais. By the way, in Thai language, the capital name is shortened to 132 letters. Of course, pronounce it is unlikely to someone from ordinary people can, so in everyday life, the name was cut to Kroog Tekhep. Local children learn full name At school, but also for them, just as for Europeans, a translation into a modern language is required. Thais even came up with a special song, in the text of which simply serves the full name of the capital of the country. It is specially invented that the population is easier to learn the title of the capital.
As for the word "Bangkok", which is used throughout the world, then, most likely, it is a reduction in the word "Bangmakok", which can be translated about as "the wild olive village on the river". For a very long time, simple Thais used this name, and it was it that he gained among the international community, since it is easier to pronounce different peoples.

2. Los Angeles (USA)

The next city with an indecently long name is located in the United States, which few people know, but in the whole world it is well aware of his short name - Los Angeles.
Fully his name sounds like this: El Pueblo de Noustra Señora La Reina de Los Angeles de Panzkula That translated from Spanish means "the village of Our Lady of Queen of the Heavenly Angels on the River Panzkula." Initially, it was a small village, but by 1820 she grew so much that turned into small city in California. Currently, Los Angeles has become the largest city in this state and the second population in the United States after New York. But the Americans did not stop at the reduction of the name of this city to Los Angeles, withdrawing it at all to two letters - La, which is a little more than 3.5% of the length of the full name of the city. Despite such compression on the area, it ranks first in the United States.
The first attaner K. local coast European began in 1542 Spaniard Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, and the next here Gaspar de Portola was coming here only in 1769, bringing here a Franciscan missionary Juan Krespons, who appreciated this area as suitable for living. They broke up on the river Pancoon camp, calling him "El Rio de Rozhista Señora La Reina de Los Angeles de Pancond. " After a couple of years, a few miles north the French built a settlement of San Gabriel, and another 12 years later, the Spanish Governor of California Felipe de Neva formally founded a settlement with the name of 63 letters.


Moving around the world is very different. Someone goes to relax, someone is in a hurry to an extraordinary business trip, and someone decides to immigrate from ...

3. Santa Fe (USA)

In the same United States, in New Mexico there is another city with long titleFrom which only a short fragment - Santa Fe remained in everyday life. The full name of the city sounds like this: La Villa Real De La Santa Fé De San Francisco de Asís that translated from Spanish means " Royal City Holy Faith of Saint Francis Assisi. "
Initially, there were several settlements in his place. The Spaniards were undertaken by several unsuccessful attempts to capture these lands, while in the end, a rather major provincial town did not grow here. Santa Fe is considered the second oldest city in the US, which was founded by the colonists from the old world, preserved to the present day. Only Saint Oghastin (1565) from Florida is older.

4. Alexandrovsk-Sakhalinsky (Russia)

Surprisingly, in Russia there are several settlements with sufficiently long names. Most often, such villages or villages are located in the northern regions. But the city with the longest title in Russia is not in the north, but in the east of the country is Alexandrovsk-Sakhalinsky . His name involves the largest number of letters, although the number of its population, on the contrary, is quite modest - about 10,000 people.
Here everything began with a military post, which later retrained to the place of settlement of dangerous criminals. Until 1926, this settlement was called Alexandrovsky post in honor of Emperor Alexander II. In different historical periods He was the administrative center of Sakhalin. Since 1926, a reference to its location was added to its location in the title of the city, and Alexandrovsk-Sakhalin was turned out.


Every year the population of major cities, and, it means, their territory continues to grow steadily. Therefore, it is possible to compare cities not only ...

5. Freixo de Espada à Cinta (Portugal)

This Portuguese city with a fairly long name is located in the wine-growing region, it is famous for beautifully blooming by spring by almond trees. Translated from Portuguese, the name of the city means "ash, stuck with a sword" and relative to its origin there are various hypotheses.
Some believe that the city was named by the name of a certain medieval aristocrat Espada Cinta, others pay attention to the emblem, which shows a tree with a sword. This is consistent with the version of the Portuguese King, who founded this city in the XIV century, who decided to take a nap under the ash, so he took off his sword and hung on the tree branch.

6. Truth or Consequences (USA)

In the US state of New Mexico there is another city with a very bizarre name Truth or consequences What does "truth or consequences" mean.

It is located between the cities of Las Cruces and Albuquerque. Near him, private companies SPACE X and Virgin Galactic launch their spacecraft. About 7,300 people live in this water-climate resort.

7. FUERSTENFELDBRUCK (Germany)

German nouns are famous for their length, therefore such long cities names arise here. In Russian version, the name of the city sounds like Fürstenfeldbruck . In this nice German town, approximately 35,000 people live, and it is located in the south of Bavaria, in the area of \u200b\u200bfive lakes. There are many vintage buildings, for example, former monasteryWhich in 1263 built the King of Bavaria Ludwig II.
The word Fürstenfeldbrook consists of three words: "Furstenfeld" - "Princely Field" and "Bruck" - "Bridge". Not far from the bridge across the Ampere River for a long time there was a market because the city was lying on a lively trading path. After the final decision of the fate of the monastery in 1803 the city was able to further development. He was awarded the status of the city only in 1935. Now in this modern city Infrastructure is well developed, there are enterprises representing several industries.
