The longest word to appear in standard English dictionaries is: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters). This is the name of a lung disease suffered by miners. It first appeared in Webster's New International Dictionary and then later in the second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.
