Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis?
 
 
 
thank you, wiki.  
_The 58-character name 
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the famous name 
of a town on Anglesey, an island of Wales. This place's name is actually 51 
letters long, as certain character groups in Welsh are considered as one 
letter, for instance ll, ng and ch. It is generally agreed, however, that this 
invented name, adopted in the mid-19th century, was contrived solely to be the 
longest name of any town in Britain. The official name of the place is 
Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, commonly abbreviated to Llanfairpwll or the somewhat 
jocular Llanfair PG._
