People
who live in Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunya Hill, Australia, need a little patience
when it comes to learning to spell their hometown's name. But you know
what? So do the folks from Lake Chargoggagoggman-chauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg
in Massachusetts and Tweebuffelsmeteen-skootmorsdoodgeskietfontein, South
Africa.
None of
them have quite as much work to do when jotting down their address as those who
live in
Taumatawhakatangihanga-koauauotamateaturipukakapikimaung-ahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu,
New Zealand, though. At 85 letters long, this is the longest place name in the world.
