People who live in Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunya Hill, Australia, need a little patience when it comes to learning to spell their hometown's name. But you know what? So do the folks from Lake Chargoggagoggman-chauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Massachusetts and Tweebuffelsmeteen skootmorsdoodgeskietfontein, South Africa. None of them have quite as much work to do when jotting down their address as those who live in Taumatawhakatangihangak-koauau tamateaturipukakapikimaung-nukypokaiwhenuakitanatahu, New Zealand, though. At 85 letters long, this is the longest place name in the world.​
 
Wow, those are some mouthfuls! 😅 I can’t imagine writing that on an envelope. It must take some serious practice to spell your own hometown! Makes me appreciate my short address even more. 🌏✍️
