How about Nordöstersjökustartilleriflygspaningssimulatoranläggningsmaterielunderhållsuppföljningssystemdiskussionsinläggsförberedelsearbeten?
It's so long that this forum splits it in separate 3 words while it actually is not split, lol.

Technically you're cheating by one alphabet since using plural makes no sense (to me at least) in that

is that a single word or a chain of words that still makes some sense? You can do stuff like that in many languages.

Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftsraddampferkapitänskajütentürsicherheitsschlüsseletui

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetzesvorlagendiskussion

the longest word in german that is not a chain of words is Unkameradschaftlichkeit, according to wiki

unfriendly is unfreundlich, the one above somewhat translates to un-comradely-ness (dunno if that is even a word :razz

I always felt horrible about pronouncing such long words when learning your language in school. Razz

They are all compound nouns. Agglutinative languages tend to have both compound nouns and extremes in agglutination, hence the confusion.

One word agglutinations would be for example elnemzetietleníthetetlenségnek (Hungarian), epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän (Finnish) or Çekoslovakyalılaştırabildiklerimizden miydiniz? (Turkish, and yes that's one word despite it's spelled with a ****ing space. **** Turkish.)
