The biggest word in spanish

Count Tops Out at 24 Letters

The answer depends on what you mean by the longest word, but regardless of your definition the longest word isn’t superextraordinarísimo, the 22-letter word once listed in a famous recordbook and the word that was usually cited as the longest in the language. (It means «most superextraordinary.»)

The designation of superextraordinarísimo seems arbitrary at best. For one thing, the word isn’t in real use. When I first researched this article in 2006, a Google search showed not a single instance where the word was used on a Spanish-language website — except on pages listing what they called the longest Spanish words. (Since I write the original version of this article, claims of superextraordinarísimoit being the longest word have mostly disappeared.) And superextraordinarísimo has two other strikes against it: If one is going to create words by adding prefixes and suffixes, one could just as well make a 27-letter word by using the adverbial form, superextraordinarísimamente. Or one could just as easily use longer root words, ending up with words such as superespectacularísimamente («most superspectacularly»). But again they’re hypothetical words rather than ones that get legitimate use.

A better choice for a 22-letter word is esternocleidomastoideo, the name of a certain neck muscle. It can be found in Spanish-language medical texts.

But we can do better without coining words. The longest words to be found in general publications appear to be two 23-letter beauties: anticonstitucionalmente («unconstitutionally») and electroencefalografista («electroencephalograph technician»), the latter also appearing in the Spanish Royal Academy’s dictionary. Since the latter is a noun, it can be made a 24-letter plural, electroencefalografistas, my designation as the longest legitimate Spanish word. Although it’s not an everyday word, you can find it in encylocopedias and some phone directories.

Of course, there’s always the 32-letter nonsense word supercalifragilisticoexpialidoso, the Spanish transliteration of «supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,» which appears in Spanish versions of the Walt Disney musical Mary Poppins. However, that word’s use is essentially limited to the film and play.

By coining cognates of some especially long English words, it would be possible to come up with longer words still. For example, some medical words and names of some chemicals in English top 30 letters, and the longest English word listed in an accepted dictionary is reported to be «pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis,» a type of lung disease. Conversion of the word to Spanish, made easy by the fact that all the roots have Spanish cognates, presumably would be neumonoultramicroscopicosiliciovolcanconiosis at 45 letters, or something similar. But such words are best spurious rather than legitimate Spanish.

This article describes some of the longest words in the Spanish language.

Esternocleidooccipitomastoideos (31 letters) is the plural of the noun esternocleidooccipitomastoideo, which is the sternocleidomastoid, a muscle in the human neck.[1] The word has a 22-letter synonym: esternocleidomastoideo,[2][3][4] which is shorter because it omits the Latin prefix occipito- (‘occipital’).[5] Both words are abbreviated as ECOM.[4]

The 24-letter word electroencefalografistas, plural of electroencefalografista, means ‘electroencephalographists’ or ‘electroencephalographers’: specialists in the brain measurement technology of electroencephalography (EEG).[3][6]

The 23-letter adverb anticonstitucionalmente means ‘anticonstitutionally’.[7] Anticonstitucionalmente is also the Portuguese translation; the French translation, anticonstitutionnellement, is an exceptionally long word as well (25 letters).[7]

Long wordsEdit

In the table below, all of the Spanish nouns except for arteriosclerosis can be pluralised by adding an s (es for internacionalizaciones) to the end. The adjective otorrinolaringológico can also be pluralised with an s; the plurals of the other adjectives end in es.

The RAE column indicates whether the Real Academia Española lists and defines the word in the Diccionario de la lengua española, its official dictionary.

What is the longest word in Spanish accepted by the Real Academia Española? What about words not officially accepted by the RAE?

Its difficult to give a reliable source for this, but searching in google it appears these words, for example in this page. But it’s difficult to say this because there are lots of technical terms which are difficult to list, because many of them can be formed by adding a lot of prefixes.

  • Longest word:

Ciclopentanoperhidrofenantreno (30 letters) — Sterane

(31 letters in plural): Ciclopentanoperhidrofenantrenos

(wikipedia entry for it)

  • Longest accepted word by RAE

Electroencefalografista (23 letters) — An expert in Electroencephalography

in plural it even has one letter more (24 letters) as electroencefalografistas

According to this page:

Superextraordinarísimo, (22-letters) was once listed as the word most often cited to be the longest in spanish. (It means «most superextraordinary»), however superextraordinarísimo seems arbitrary at best. For one thing, the word isn’t in real use.

When I was a kid they kept telling us at class that «esternocleidomasteoideo» (22 letters) was the longest word in Spanish.

Of course, I can see it wasn’t true :D

Just thought I should share.

A mi me parece que contrarevolucionariamente es mas larga(25 letras) o anticontrarevolucinariamente que cuenta con 29 letras. También anticontrarevolucionariamentísimamente (38 letras).
