P.S. what the .........


Taumata*whakatangihanga*koauau*o*tamatea*turi*pukakapiki*maunga*horo*nuku*pokai*whenua*kitanatahu is the Māori name for a hill, 305 metres (1,001 ft) high, close to Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.
The name is often shortened to Taumata by the locals for ease of conversation. The New Zealand Geographic Placenames Database, maintained by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), records the name as "Taumata*whakatangihanga*koauau*o*tamatea*pokai*whenua*ki*tana*tahu".[1] It has gained a measure of fame as it is the longest place-name found in any English-speaking country, and it is the second longest place-name in the world, according to Wises New Zealand Guide and reported in the New Zealand Herald
 
anyways for me its "exaggeration" I just cannot utter this word... its so freaked me out for a long time... I tried, tried and tried and I am still trying but I just cannot utter it.....eeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :angry:
 
Thai names are by far the longest and most complex . They are all Sanskrit based but put together differently.
