The English word antidisestablishmentarianism ({{IPAc-en|audio=Antidisestablishmentarianism.ogg|ˌ|æ|n|t|i|d|ɪ|s|ɪ|ˌ|s|t|æ|b|l|ɪ|ʃ|m|ə|n|ˈ|t|ɛər|i|ə|n|ɪ|z|əm}}, {{small|US also}} {{IPAc-en|audio=Pronunciation of 'antidisestablishmentarianism'.ogg|ˌ|æ|n|t|aɪ|-}}) is notable for its unusual length of 28 letters and 12 syllables, and is one of the longest words in the English language.[1] It has been cited as the longest word in the English language (excluding coined and technical terms), although some sources say that it is not used enough to carry that title.[2] The longest word found in a major dictionary is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, but this is a technical term that was coined specifically to be the longest word.[1][3][4] The word became known in the public realm in the United States via a popular television show in the 1950s, The $64,000 Question, when a young contestant correctly spelled it to win. A slightly longer – but less commonly accepted – variant of the word can be found in the Duke Ellington song “You’re Just an Old Antidisestablishmentarianismist”; although the correct construction of the word used in the song should be "antidisestablishmentarianist" (without the ism), or "antidisestablishmentarian".[5] Meaning{{Further|Antidisestablishmentarianism}}Antidisestablishmentarianism is a political position that originated in 19th century Britain.
