The strangest and long names on earth

We begin with a small lake near the town of Webster, Michigan, USA. His full name Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg
(Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg), and this is no less than a 45 letters, 15 of which «g» and 9 - «a». This is the longest place name
(Title) in the USA. One option meaning of the word - "You catch a fish on your side, I fish on their own, and no one catches a fish in the middle."
Now better known as Lake Webster (Webster Lake), but the ability to pronounce the long version - the pride of local residents.





Next on the list comes Welsh village with breathtaking title Лланвайрпуллгвингиллгогерихуирндробуллллантисилиогогогох (Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch), wherein the 58 letters. Translated from the Welsh language sounds like "Church. Mary in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St. Tisilio near the red cave. " The village has a website Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.com and is the longest in the world of a domain name consisting of a single word.

















If you think 58 characters a lot, then you are on your right, but do not agree with the inhabitants of distant New Zealand. They've got a 300-meter hill so called Тауматауакатангиангакоауауотаматеатурипукакапикимаунгахоронукупокануэнуакитанатаху (Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu), written in the usual font size does not fit into the design GreenWord. That is not surprising, because there already 82 letters in Russian transcription and 85 in English. However, in the Guinness Book of Records entered a more formal and long version of the name (Taumatawhakatangihanga koauau o tamatea ure haea turi pukaka piki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua ki tana tahu), in which 92 letters. Rough translation sounds like "Top of the hill where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who rolled, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as land eater, played his nose flute to his beloved." Welsh, where Лланвайрпуллгвингиллгогерихуирндробуллллантисилиогогогох, argue that this place name was coined specifically to get ahead of the longest name in the UK. However, local residents claim that the name has always been used by local Maori.





It was the longest name consisting of one word. And the undisputed champion in our list known to all the Thai capital Bangkok or Krohn Thep (Krung Thep). Surprised? So am I! But the full official version is: Kroon Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahintarayutthaya Mahadilok Phop Nopparat Ratchathani Buriram Udomratchanivet Mahasatan Amon aux Piments Avatan Sathit Sakkathattiyya Vitsanukam Prasit (Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit) . This magnificent 159 letters in Russian and 167 in English! Children are taught the official name of the capital in the school, but few are able to interpret it, as most of the words are out of date and is not currently used in everyday speech. And it is translated like this: "The city of angels, the great city, the city - the eternal treasure, impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious stones, happy city full of abundance grand Royal Palace that resembles the divine abode where reigns reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Visvakarma ».
