The longest place name still in use is: Taumatawhakatangihangaoauauotameteaturipukakapikim aungahoronuk- upokaiwhenuakitanatahu--a New Zealand hill.

Like to see someone say that!

I can say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch. It's the longest place name in the UK (a Welsh railway station).

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.
