This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society's Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

Longest Hawaiian word: humuhumunukunukuapua'a

There are only 7 consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, w) and the 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) so the language holds many records on conecutive vowels used and number of times a paritcular vowel is used etc...
