No, the long Welsh name is
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
I’m not Welsh but somehow I am actually able to pronounce it very well, and I use it sometimes to practice certain harder sounds in the IPA.
Ah, Europe's most favourite word. I am unable to pronounce it without training but a video of news host saying it was impressive
For those wondering, here's a popular example of that name being spoken...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHxO0UdpoxM
not welsh, but being a fan of railways, and especially narrow gauge railways, i've seen the station sign for llanfair about a zillion times,
and i've heard generally the llanfair part is about as much as anyone normally tries to pronounce. its enough to know what place they're talking about.
other words for the amusement of being long exist, i can think of two of them, but neither are longer.
a castle within a castle would only be sustainable long term if it encompassed a fully functional and self sustaining ecosystem.
which is essentially what you would need for a multi-generational transit to most other solar systems likely to have a life supporting planet.
fun fact: the letters ll in Welsh make the "ch" sounds, the letters au make the "aye" sound and the letters ch make the sound "qh" ( I think that's the phonology for it)
What about Taumatawhakatangihangakōauauotamateapōkaiwhenuakitānatahu? It's not Welsh but even longer.
So 2 tourists have just got off the train in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Walking through town they decide to stop for something to eat. One asks the person serving them "Please help settle our argument. Could you very slowly and clearly pronounce the name of where we are?"
The server gives an exasperated sigh and replies "Bur...ger...King."

In other news, it appears that if you want a fenced-in fence you should look no further than the Fenced in Fence Company of Wilmington, Delaware.

Eh, I’d describe the <ll> as an /s/ but with your toungue touching the sides of the mouth, to make a slushy sound.
And as for <ch>, it makes a /χ/ (uvular voiceless fricative)
I got into the rmb without context and thought I was having a stroke until I realized we were talking about long name
Alright folks, I have sent an email to not one, but two people I admire asking for help with something on their area of expertise. Today was a productive day.
I have really been enjoying this back-and-forth on the RMB on the origins of this name, and I admit I myself got tangled up in it a bit, using anagram solvers and decoders to try to decipher it any which way... nothing meaningful ever came up. Then I also dug into this user's posts like Chan Island did and noticed that they have again claimed in an IC context that the capitol building was named... a very long word - which is actually the full time of titin.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:List_of_protologisms/Long_words/Titin
I honestly don't think they really work for an IRL company with a name related to their nation name; if anything, they were probably referring to an IC construct.
