1.Smiles, because there is a mile between the first and last s.
2.Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamatea...
Māori name for a hill, 305 metres high, close to Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.
well there are several answers, depending on how were meant to answer this
1. in the english language, if you count chemical symbols, is on this website (i cant copy it) http://www.othyr.com/titin.html (189,819)
2. if you don't count chemicals, but count place names, then theres Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau otamatea pokaiwhen uakitanatahu (85) which means The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one. :l . but that isn't really english
3. if you dont count place names, then theres the supposed word for a lung disease pneumonoultra microscopicsilico volcanoconiosis (45)
4. if you don't count that disease, then the longest technical word is Pseudopseudo hypoparathyroidism (30) , which is an inherited disorder that closely simulates the symptoms
5. and if you want a proper word some people actually use, then theres Floccinaucini hilipilification(29), which is the act or habit of estimating or describing something as worthless, or making something to be worthless by deprecation,
or Antidisestablish mentarianism (28) which is commonly said, and means a political position that originated in nineteenth-century Britain, where antidisestablishmentarians were opposed to proposals to remove the Church of England's status as the state church of England forwarded principally by both Payne and Tuffin.
theres another one, but its a greek transliteration, so its not technically english
or 7, i could be wrong and because this is a riddle, language is the longest word in "the english language", followed by "english" and "the"
EDIT: or smiles, as everyone's said, or it could be similes, that has mile.
EDIT AGAIN: i'm searching, and i've found aequeosalinocalcalino ceraceoalumino socupreovitriolic (52)which is attributed to Dr Edward Strother
this website i found it on is in sources now
smiles.
because there is a mile distance from first s to last s.
