the longest word in English
 
hello to all
do u have any idea about the longest word in the English ********?
of course, it is useless to look up this word in an ordinary dictionary.
now, here's the answer:
the following word is the longest word which you can find in an all-purpose dictionary:

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
what does it mean? we can break this word down into its parts to see what each part means.
pneu: breath, of lungs
mono: one, single
ultra: extremely
micro: small
scopic: visible
silico: of silicon, a common non-****llic element of the earth's crust
volcano: of volcanic origin
coni: cone-like or cone-shaped
osis: abnormal or diseased condition

the word describes a disease of the lungs which is commonly referred to as "Black Lung Disease". this disease occurs among coalminers. it involves breathing in coal dust, which forms cone-shaped deposits in the lungs.

very good question. in fact i have taken this information from a book on pronunciation entitled: "Phonology in English ******** Teaching" by M. C. Pennington.
the best way to pronounce this long word should be done in the following way
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

the strong syllables are written in big letters. try to pronounce them louder with higher pitch. the last underlined syllable must receive the strongest stress.

hoping that these information are helpful enough
:othanx for your interest
