The putative longest word (and a complete sentence in itself) in Turkish is
Cekyoslovakyalilastiramadiklarimizdanmisiniz?
Which means, "Are you one of those that we could not make Czechoslovakian?"
Just thought you'd want to know.

I know one person who uses the word munge. He uses it constantly, and to describe the crappy effort he's going to make at his job. So, the fact I despise this person doesn't help the word's chances with me.

Sabreader: Indeed. I didn't know how to make them. Although, if it WERE bakanl-i-k, then I suppose it would be bakanliklerimidenmisiniz ;)
Robot: No, see I disagree on Brie and so forth. There's something more basic going on when you call an orange a "Portugal" or China China. They're not adjectives modifying a hidden noun, "Brie" cheese, etc. In that case, buckram might have to go.

An orange, in various languages, including Greek and Turkish.

I love this list. What's portokal? Google's not giving it up.
