The longest word is:

PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCANO­CONIOSIS

and is a lung disease.

If, on the other hand, place names can be deemed legal, the Mauri in New Zealand have a hill they call:

TAUMATA­WHAKA­TANGI
­HANGA­KOAUAU­O­TAM
ATEA­TURIPUKAKAIKI
­MAUNGA­HORO­NUK
U­POKAI­WHE

The name has 85 letters and seemingly the Mauri generally shorten it to: Taumata
I had to cut the word to get it to fit

However, there is a legal chemical term:

ACETYL­SERYL­T and another 1174 letters to boot
way too long to start slicing and dicing just to crack a joke

It appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

Actually the Maori's proved that the 85 letter name of the hill was an abbreviation when the rest was added it broke the record and now do hold the world record and it is very much legal.

Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturipukapihimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuaakitanarahu is officially entered in the Guinness Book of Records."stretches the name has 92 letters.

It says the name means "The place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed, and swallowed mountains, known as land eater, played his flute to his loved one."

Isn't that sweet.

Yes. But the chemical compound with more than 1180 letters is still a hell of a lot longer...

Go back to bed. It's too early.

Also it's Maori. Always. Even when plural and possessive.
