Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

How to pronounce this? :D I was ROFLMAO for 10 minutes :lol:

Any one interested can check Wiki which has the audio.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (short form Llanfairpwllgwyngyll), also spelled Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll and commonly known as Llanfair PG or Llanfairpwll, is a village and community on the island of Anglesey in Wales, situated on the Menai Strait next to the Britannia Bridge and across the strait from Bangor.

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taumata
The name on the sign that marks this hill is "Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu", which translates roughly as The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one. At 85 letters, it is one of the longest place names in the world.
How on eatch do they keep names without spaces :lol:

My sympathies to all those who live there. Poor people might have to attach an extra sheet of paper to the form whenever they have to write their address cause it'll never fit in regular address fields.

Actually, they just write T'tahu as the location name. Read it somewhere.

Smart folks. Too bad the guy who named the place wasn't that smart.
