Group#7-The hardest English words are...

Well, i must admit that this topic is quite tough, so i'm googling it. And here's the result...
1. TWYNDYLLYNGS 
Twyndyllyngs is the longest word in English that doesn't contain one of the five vowels (AEIOU). It comes from Welsh and is obviously rare, but it does appear in the Oxford English Dictionary.
It turns out that "twyndyllyng" (singular) is a 15th century spelling of the word "twinling," which means, in modern English, "twin.
2. PNEUMONOULTAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANIOSIS 
This is the longest word in the English language is actually (excluding scientific names that contain either hundreds or thousands of letters) is this 45-letter. It is a lung disease that often affects coal miners in the conditions that they work in.
3. EUOUAE
This is the longest English word with no consonants. EUOUAE is a religious chant. But, i have no idea how to pronounce this...
4. HONORIFICABILITUDINITATIBUS
This 27-letter word coined by Shakespears , in his comedy Love's Labour's Lost, is a testament to the Bard's own intralexiconic skills. Meaning "the state of being able to achieve honors," the word is the longest one in the English language with alternating consonants and vowels (Take a look for yourself….yep.).
5. PSEUDOPSEUDOHYPOPARATHYROIDSM
This 30-letter word is a technical one for a type of inherited disorder.  An individual with such a disorder resembles someone with Pseudohypoparathyroidism Type 1A, but doesn't possess a deficiency in calcium or PTH levels (which mark the essential differences between Pseudohypoparathyroidism 1A and Hypoparathyroidism).
To put it far more basically, the word is much more fun to say than to have. (even i still have no idea how to pronounce it LOL)

That's all. Happy Sunday! ;D
