Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu is the Māori name for a hill, 1,000 ft high, close to Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke\'s Bay, New Zealand. It 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 has been listed in the Guinness World Records as one of the longest place names in the world.
You know, those chemists have a point; if chemical names counted as longest words you could make an infinitely long word by making an infinetely long chemical chain.
Anyway, whenever you get tired of trying to speak moriori, we can work on thai and the proper way to pronounce "Bangkok", which of course is "Krungthepmahanakonbowornratanakosinmahintarayudyayamahadiloponoparatanarajthaniburiromudomrajniwesmahasatarnamornpimarnavatarsatitsakattiyavisanukamphrasit"
