Longest Word In The World

Sometimes we are thinking about what is the longest word in the world. and I asked myself as it may be the longest word in foreign-languages. There are lots of longest words available but i think the real longest word should be meaningful and still used by people.

So finally I got it and we can technically consider this word as a longest word in the world:
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

This is a longest word by 45 letters which refers to a lung disease caused inhaling silicon dust particles. Research has discovered that this word was originally intended as a hoax. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim.


I found one of the longest place names.
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu

It's a name of the hill in New Zealand which translates into English as "The brow of the hill where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid climbed and swallowed mountains who is known as the Land Eater, played on his nose flute to his loved one. At 85 letters, it is one of the longest place name in the world. But local peoples typically called just "Taumata" for ease of conversation.

The longest place name in the United States is: Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg

It's a name of the lake in Webster, Massachusetts which 45 letters long. It means "Englishmen at Manchaug at the Fishing Place at the Boundary".

People sometimes ask whether a DNA string can be considered as the longest English word. For example below is the so longest word. It contains more then 1900 letters.

It’s the scientific name for Tryptophan synthetase, which is a protein containing 267 amino acids. But technically it's does not qualify as a word. They're regarded as chemical names rather than genuine words in the sense of meaningful items of vocabulary. We don't tend to regard these terms as proper 'words'.

Here are some of the long words from Oxford English Dictionary which are highly technical.

otorhinolaryngological - 22 letters

psychophysicotherapeutics - 25 letters

Jose Mestre After Surgery

Here I have good update about Jose Mestre. As I mentioned in my old post about "Jose Mestre - the man without face”, who had 12-pound tumor that covered his most of face
But Now Jose Mestre is adjusting with his new look after surgery. The life-threatening 12-pound tumor was completely removed by Dr. McKay McKinnon that covered most of Jose Mestre's face. 55 year old Portuguese, is now 5 kilos lighter and looking handsome with human face.


This is after doctors in Saint Joseph Hospital, Chicago performed radical surgery to remove the extra weight growing on his face. It took the doctors three months to successfully do the whole procedure.

The tumor which started growing when Mestre was only 14 years old was already affecting his sight, his breathing and much of his sleeping and eating activities that he could have died had it not been for the operation. The growth on Mestre’s face was so huge that he was more known as “the man without face.”



Jose Mestre after surgery and spending three months in Chicago and undergoing four facial surgeries, finally he has a chance to lead sort of a normal life because before he felt that, even though he never chose to, but he was the center of attraction wherever he went.

His sister Edith Abreu has cared for him over the years and been with him throughout the surgeries. Mestre says without her, he would not be alive.

Baby Boy Born With Two Front Teeth

A baby boy surprised his first-time parents when he was born with two fully-formed front teeth.
Most babies six months to a year to grow their first teeth but Oliver James had two pearly whites from the start. His parents Joanne Jones, 31, and Lee, 32, said they have already booked their son's first dentists appointment.

First time parents Joanne and Lee Jones had an extra surprise when their son Oliver was born - he had two front teeth. The 7lb 12oz youngster has two front incisors in his lower gums and doctors say the teeth may fall out and be replaced or stay in place as the first of his baby teeth.

Mr and Mrs James, from Haverhill, Cambridgeshire have been inundated with friends and family who are keen to see their firstborn's toothy smile. Mrs James said that they were delighted to have a healthy baby boy and added that his teeth were proving popular with visitors. She said: 'Oliver is a very, very good baby and it was a complete surprise to see his teeth. They are not little stumps, they are proper teeth. It is not unknown for baby born with teeth, but it is extremely rare. It was quite comical in the hospital because everyone wanted to come and see Oliver's teeth when they heard about them.

Doctors says that the teeth may fall out and be replaced or they could stay in place as the first of his baby teeth. Baby's teeth begin to develop before they are born. However, they don't usually come through until they are aged between six months and one year old. One in 2,000 babies is born with a tooth or two like Oliver.

World's Oldest Female Yoga Instructor- Bette Calman

Yoga instructor Bette Calman may be 83, but she's still bending over backwards to spread the benefits of the ancient Indian discipline. The nimble grandmother can really pull some shapes and with her set hair and pearl earrings she looks as glamorous as Greta Garbo in a pink jumpsuit. With 40 years of teaching under her belt, the Australian wonder is living proof that a lifetime's dedication to yoga will keep you flexible as a rubber band.

When she relocated near her daughter’s home eight years ago, Yoga instructor Bette Calman had every thought of retiring, but her daughter’s agenda included other plans for her. At the time, she had already made a reputation for herself as a yoga instructor, had written a couple of books and had appeared on more television shows than she could count. First, she was asked to help out at her daughter’s health clinic – then she became a fixture, and continues to be so to this day.

The secret, she says, is learning to comprehend that the “body is an instrument,” which means that age has nothing to do with how we should feel. This is why, while other women and men her age have problems tying their shoelaces or stooping to pick something up from the floor, she can do the raised lotus, sit on her head and hold the peacock, where the entire bodyweight is supported on the arms alone.

Not only does she attribute to yoga her excellent physical condition but also her feeling so young. As already noted, at 83, she can put most people even half her age to shame with the things she can do. “Yoga keeps you young. Never have I gone to a yoga class and wished I was somewhere else, because I know I’m going to come out feeling on the top of the world. There’ll always be yoga.” Calman explains.

Shruti Pandey - World's Youngest Yoga Teacher In India

At just six, Shruti Pandey is the youngest yoga trainer in the world, hailed as a miracle at Indian ashram. The bendy youngster has been teaching adults at an ashram, in northern India, for the last two years.

Her trainer, Hari Chetan, 67, set up the ashram 35 years ago and as soon as little Shruti became one of his students, as a tiny four-year old, he spotted her talents. Hari Chetan, began teaching her when she was four, and calls her a miracle and a perfectionist.

Now she starts her classes at 5.30am every morning, at Brahmanand Saraswati Dham, in the Jhunsi town, dressed in white leggings and a red t-shirt surrounded by 30 eager pupils ranging from businessmen, teachers, housewives to pensioners. Shruti said: 'It feels good when people follow my instructions, I feel like a real teacher. I got interested in yoga after seeing my brother do it. I tried picking it up myself but it was too hard. So I asked my parents to send me to yoga classes.'

Shruti Pandey has mastered some of yoga's most challenging positions. She can easily hold her entire body on the strength of her little arms and hang her legs backwards over her head. Her brother, Harsh Kumar, now 11-years-old, made the Limca Book of Records at the tender age of five by learning all 84 yoga positions - but he's never been interested in being a teacher like his sister.

Hari, who Shruti also calls her grandfather, think she's a miracle. 'She's a fast learner and a perfectionist. She grasps techniques quickly unlike kids her own age, who get bored with something as patience consuming as yoga. Shruti can manage some of yoga's most challenging positions. She can easily hold her entire body on the strength of her little arms and hang her legs right over her head backwards.

One of Shruti's fans, 90-year-old Swami Bhanu, a retired teacher, said: 'The best thing about Shruti is she tries to provide an alternative position for the complicated ones that are difficult for an older person like me to do. She's very patient.' Businessman Lokendra Pal Singh, 48, has been attending Shruti's classes for three months and said, 'I have noticed a positive change in my life. I used to be short-tempered, but now I'm able to control my anger to quite an extent and it's all thanks to a little six-year old.'

Shruti teaches yoga to classes of up to 30 adults, starting at 5:30am, at the Swami Brahmachand Saraswati Kaivalya Dham Ashram in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh in India.
