En español ésta es "anticonstitucionalmente". Not very long anyway. I've seen atrocious long words in German.

The most well-known long word in English is "antidisestablishmentarianism".

Fear for the long words

"hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliofobia"

>You sure? that doesn't look Spanish, it has double PPs and that would just be unnnecesary, however we wouldn't have any problem pronouncing that, unlike long English words.

There was once a contest in Finland to find the longest Finnish word. This was the one that won: epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttämättömyyksissänsäkäänköhän. Finnish has lots of different appendixes, and in this word many of them have been added to a rather long root word (epä- = un-, järjestää = to arrange, järjestelmä = system, järjestelmällisyys = "systematicality" etc.) Grammatically, that is presumably a correct word, but in practice nobody could find a real occasion to use it.

Hispania also means hemaphrodite in Latin:

Hispani (singular Hispanus) was the Roman name for castrated followers of the Phrygian goddess Cybele, which were regarded as a third gender by contemporary Roman scholars,[citation needed] comparable to transgendered people in the modern world. The chief of these priests was referred to as a battakes, and later as the archigallus.Hieronymus believed the name was given by the Romans as a sign of their contempt for the Hispanians.

So the Hispanians were hemaphrodite and their descendants too. This fact explains why hispanics sounds so gay! They have both male and female genitalia hust like the female hyenas who have pseudo penis like their HERpanic counterparts.
