The longest word in various languages depends on what language you refer to. In English for example, it is pneumonoultramicroscopic-silicovolcanoconiosis, 45 letters long (no hyphen). This was a coined word which has the same meaning as the word "silicosis".
The 28-letter antidisestablishmentarianism is often referred to as the longest, and it is the longest "noncoined, nontechnical" word in English. Other long words include the name for the tobacco mosaic virus (1185 letters) or the enzyme "trypthophan synthetase" (1909 or 1913 letters).
The actual longest word in the world is 189,819 letters long. It is the chemical name for the largest known protein, called 'titin'.
Other languages
German boasts some fearsomely long compound words and Finnish commonly has words of fifteen letters, and a twenty-five letter word would not be seen as strange. But polysynthetic languages, like Inuit languages, take the cake. The thirty-letter long Inuit word tuntussuqatarniksaitengqiggtuq means "He had not yet said again that he was going to hunt reindeer."

The longest Maori place name is:
Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu
.
Which translates as: "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater', played his Flute to his loved one."
