    I think the longest words in the Romanic languages (French, Spanish, Italian...) are not as long as those in the Germanic ones (German, Swedish etc.)...

    But who was his loved one then, of this Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed, and swallowed mountains, known as the land eater, also playing the flute, then? ;)

    I think she sit at the brow of the hill, watched and listened to Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed, and swallowed mountains, known as the land eater, playing his flute :D

    I can just imagine a conversation between Tamatea and his woman:


    She ask him:
    "How was your day like, honey?"

    He answer:
    "hmm, just the usual stuff; I ate some mountains and played my flute. How was your day, sweetheart?" ;)

    In Welsh, as far as I know (I'm only learning it) its Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychchwyndrobyllllantisiliogogogoch. Its the name of a very small town, longest place name in Europe I think.
