All these words have a certain meaning that characterize this place as the city of angels, great city, the precious city, the impregnable city of God Indra, great capital world, endowed with nine precious stones, a happy city, abounding royal palace, which resembles a divine abode, where the incarnation of god reigns, the city worshiping Indra, built by Vishnukarn.

In the world there are a great many long, strange, sometimes even incomprehensible names of villages and cities, rivers and lakes, mountains and plains, and simply names. All these names are generated by the human mind and imagination, the limits of which, as you know, do not exist. As an example of a flight of fantasy and imagination, consider the names of some cities in the world and Russia.

In the world

On the east coast Chao Phray River, near its mouth, is one of largest cities Thailand with five million people. It is the capital of Thailand, the city of Bangkok. However, the real name of this city sounds a little different - Krung Tep, or the City of Angels.

This name of the city, in terms of its length, is not impressive. The thing is that we use a more concise and easy-to-pronounce name. The historical name of Bangkok is quite different. In the native language, it consists of 30 words and in translation it sounds something like this: “The City of Angels, impregnable and the greatest, which is the residence of the emerald Buddha, the greatest of the capitals of the world, blessed with 9 century-old stones, decorated with majestic royal palaces, beautiful as a heavenly place, which is ruled by the confidant of God, a city bestowed by Indra and rebuilt by Wissanukam.

Once upon a time, Bangkok was called the Venice of the East. This name was given to the city by ancient travelers who visited it about two hundred years ago. The name was not chosen by chance, the city at that time stood on the coast of the river, literally in the water. Soon King Ram V ordered to dig channels for drainage. This is how the "water" streets appeared, making it look like Venice.

In the 19th century, these canals were covered with earth and turned into roads. The motive for such changes was the fashion for self-propelled carriages, which dominated Europe at that time. The fashion was adopted by the Thai kings, who had the opportunity to visit this country and see, and then adopt, a fashionable innovation.

To this day, only a few blocks have survived from the Venice of the East, most of which are inhabited by the poor, living literally in shacks. Many of the shacks are extensions to other houses and do not even have their own postal address. However, here you can still see mansions surrounded by lush gardens, in which the descendants of noble people still live to this day. The streets of the quarter are represented by canals, as they were many years ago. They still serve as water supply and even sewage to this day. This ancient part of Bangkok is now a historical and cultural value and is included in the tourist routes.

Modern Bangkok is a successfully developing city with a population of about 9 million people. Every year at two major airports Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang, thousands of tourists come to see its sights. Bangkok is growing and developing rapidly, turning into a modern metropolis, but it manages to preserve the traditional Asian culture. The city is rich in museums, ancient and newly erected Buddha temples.

In Russia

Russia is also rich in cities with long names. Moreover, in our country there are long city names consisting of the same number of letters and even words, so it is almost impossible to choose a record holder for the length of the city name. It would be more appropriate to compare the length of the names not of cities or villages, but of settlements.

The record long name belongs to a small village located in the Zaraisky district of the Moscow region. This is about Central estate of the state farm named after the 40th anniversary of the Great October Revolution. The settlement is part of the Mashonovsky rural settlement. Now it is home to about 1,000 people.

It appeared in 1933 and was the Central Estate of a state farm engaged in breeding pigs. At that time it was called Kaganovich, but in 1957 it was renamed. Nowadays, the village has high school, House of Culture, Kindergarten, a post office, a library and an outpatient clinic, but the pig farm no longer exists there.

The longest name of the settlement consists of 27 characters and belongs to the village of Kremenchug-Konstantinovskoe. The village is located in Kabardino-Balkaria. Founded in 1885 by the so-called settlers, originally from the Kremenchug province. They went to the Caucasus, in search of better conditions for life. In the town of Kabarda, from a local prince by the name of Inalov, they rented land, on which they subsequently settled. New settlers settled in separate farms, giving each a name derived from the name of the place from which they arrived. These names were fixed and still exist, now as the names of the districts of the village.

The modern name, Kremenchug-Konstantinovskoe, appeared after the farms were merged into a single locality. The name of the farm of the first settlers - Kremenchug and the name of the founder's settler - Konstantin, was taken as the basis for its name. At local residents there is an unofficial short name for the village, Krem-Konstantinovka, or even shorter - Kremka.

There are two more villages in Russia with record long names. These are Verkhnenovokutlumbetyevo, which is in the Orenburg region, and Starokozmodemyanovskoye, located in the Tambov region. There are exactly 23 letters in the names of these villages and there is no hyphen.

Mamihlapinatapai (sometimes spelled mamihlapinatapei) is a word from the language of the Yagan tribe ( Tierra del Fuego). It is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the "most condensed word" and considered one of the most difficult words to translate.

Mamihlapinatapai means " A look between two people that expresses the desire of each that the other will initiate what both want, but neither wants to be the first».

But what longest word in the world?

The full chemical name of the largest protein contains 189,819 letters and is considered the longest word in any language.

Titin, also known as connectin, is a giant protein composed of 244 individually folded protein regions connected by an unstructured sequence of peptides.

In addition, the titin gene contains the most a large number of exons - 363 found in one gene.

Titin plays an important role in the contraction of striated muscle tissue, but it is best known for its technical name, which is said to be the longest word in any language in the world.

The name "titin" is borrowed from the Greek word "titan" (giant deity, something large). The chemical name starts with methionyl ... and ends with ... isoleucine.

The full name of the largest protein would take up a lot of space in this post, but you

If you really want to hear how the longest word in the world sounds, you can watch the video, which takes almost 3.5 hours to fully pronounce this name.

It is interesting that you will not even see the full chemical name of titin in dictionaries, since the compilers of dictionaries consider the names of chemical compounds to be a verbal formula, not a word. But no matter how you call it: a word, a formula, or a whole story, it is extremely long.

The longest word in Russian has not yet been determined for a number of reasons. Theoretically, one of these words can be the adjectiveahydropyridopyridine, consisting of 55 letters. But will such a choice of the winner be fair, because in analytical, for example, chemistry, the names of substances can be built according to a certain scheme and sometimes reach downright cosmic values.

Another frequently cited example is the construction of a word by adding the prefix pra-. Its number can be unlimited, therefore, there will be plenty of letters in such a word.

Various words are also popular, containing a numeral and denoting any value - one thousand eight hundred and seventy nine centimeters, or constructed according to the type of eighty-four years. To indicate the age of, for example, the Earth. So there are countless opportunities for word creation. You can combine options for quite a long time, because, as we know, there are a lot of natural numbers. That is, you can ask the expression of the diameter of the Earth in millimeters, and you can only imagine how many letters there will be in this newborn word. In view of this, the task of finding the longest word in the Russian language, alas, will not be crowned with success. Moreover, most of these words seem almost like a monster to the layman, and are not used at all in ordinary speech. Except on a local scale. That is, it is quite possible to find the longest word among parts of speech, for example, verbs or nouns.

Some difficulties are also created by the lack of agreement on whether different word forms can be used. So, for example, in the Guinness Book of Records in 1993, the word X-ray electrocardiographic (33 letters) was named the longest word, in the 2003 edition - highly contemplative (35 letters). In the first case, an analogue of the word could also be used - ente(42 letters). Disputes arose, naturally, due to the fact that, as we can see, in the first case the word is used in the genitive case, and in the second the spelling, for example, in the same case, would be longer by a letter. In general, the words-record holders have not been honored to be recognized, because the information is rather subjective and cannot be confirmed.

And how do you like this longest abbreviation? (56 characters)

The longest verbs are to recertify, to substantiate and to internationalize (all - 24 letters; the participles formed from them with the ending -uyuschimsya and gerunds on -ovavshis - 25 letters each). From the first time, I could not even immediately imagine the meaning of the second word ...

But in addition to long, little-known and highly specialized words, there are also champions in literature, for example, the word of discretion, which Nikolai Leskov used in the story "Hare Remise". The most interesting thing is that no one knows for certain the meaning, it is quite likely that the author himself invented it . But, probably, everyone can imagine its significance for themselves.

Our language hides a lot of interesting things, and I think the number of record-breaking words does not affect the power and beauty of our Russian speech in any way. Collecting information for this article, I learned an incredibly many interesting things. And for some reason I remembered that at the age of seven it was thought that the word electrosynchrophasotron was, well, the longest, and Staroportofrankivska Street was generally something from the category of science fiction. Beliefs change... And most importantly, the language is not something static, and is replenished daily with neologisms; he lives, is reborn, and it is not known how long the champion word can become. Although, judging by the current desire of the young to shorten the word beyond recognition, it is still unknown who will win ...
