Tagalog
The longest known Filipino word in a dictionary is the 32-letter, 13-syllable Nagsisipagsisinungasinungalingan, which means "trying to tell fake lies to another."
Like all other Philippine languages, Tagalog is an agglutinate language, and because of this there are many opportunities in everyday speech to create long words (by English standards).
Examples of this include:
- Pinagpinamamagaspasan (21 letters, 9 syllables) meaning "a dusty place where chickens usually groom themselves"
- Pinakanakapagpapabagbagdamdamin (31 letters, 13 syllables) meaning "something/someone that can get one upset/carried-away the most" from the root bagabag (upset).
