SCRIPT:
Hallo, this is Hans the Dutch guy with Much Dutch, and this time we will see what the longest word in the Dutch language is. This is a bit tricky, since in Dutch, you can make endless new words by making compounds.

But this one has been entered in the Guinness Book of Records in 2011. It has 60 letters. Here we go:

Kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamhedencomitéleden

Translated into English it means the Committee members who organize the preparation work for a children's carnival parade.

Kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamhedencomitéleden

It is actually 15 letters longer than the English longest word, which is this:

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

And yeah, I am not even going to try that one.
