always interesting to learn something unusual, out of the ordinary.It may be unusual places, people, and natural phenomena of progress, but it is impossible not to be surprised at the phenomenon of human speech, a great variety of languages ​​and dialects.Many publications are searching for unusual names, names, nicknames, and the longest name - one of the popular searches on the Internet.So, we will speak about it.

If you expand the world map and find it known to all the Hawaiian Islands, you can see the beautiful island of Honolulu.It was on this piece of land there was a case, the heroine of which is recorded in the book of Guinness World Records as the Arthur a man with the longest name in the world.

Background.The family of the local restaurant owners daughter.The girl grew up, and it is time to gather the first class.But when the baby brought to school, the teacher refused to enter into a future student magazine.The reason for that was too cumbersome girl's name, consisting of the 102-uh letters (the longest name just does not fit in the class register)!In the native Hawaiian language, it looks like this: Напу-Хала-Амо-Она-Она-Вехи-Анека-Вехи-Она-Нена-Хивеа-Вава-Кехо-Кахе-Онка-Хеа-Леке-Она-Еа-Ней-Нана-Кеко-Ниа-Оа-Ога-Ика-Ван-Ванао.Unusually Russian ear the name may seem strange and incomprehensible, but in translation it sounds very nice, "Beautiful flowers innumerable mountains and valleys begin to fill Hawaii in length and width of its fragrance."

Since ancient times, many people fought for their independence from the others.Some resigned to his fate, and stood under the protection of more powerful rivals.(Louis Bussenar in his book "Captain Daredevil" describes the desperate battle drills - a small nation in southern Africa - against the great British nation. As a result, the royal army won freedom-loving people, but the tenacity with which he defended his independence, is worthy of respect even fromBritain's side.) But there are those who are fighting for their freedom, and to this day, but pride would not allow to forget old grievances.So, in the north of Britain lives of Welsh people leading a ceaseless struggle even under the auspices of the British.This is manifested in many ways.For example, in 1870, the year of the small Welsh village received a very strange name from the local inhabitants - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch.It is not by chance that this "twisty", Welsh specifically called it a complicated name that no Englishman could not pronounce it.As in the case of a Hawaiian girl translation of the word much nicer your original sounds like: "The Church of St. Mary in the thickets of white hazel near the rapid whirlpool by the church of St. Taysilio and red cave."And this is not the only case manifestation of the pride of local residents.

also for many people is a challenge to say the Indian names.The names of the various objects and phenomena that people differ from the rest of the excessive presence of the "J", "khtr" and many other combinations of letters.Thus, a resident of India under the name Brahmatra has the longest name in the world, consisting of letters of 1478!It includes geographic names, the names of scientists and a whole bunch of all that does not give any explanation.And in order to read it, it will require no less than 15 minutes.But to accomplish this no one can, and for those who wish to try it, I have to say that it is very hard to find.Anyone who has tried to do this, we conclude: either it is a myth, which was started not know why, either, for reasons unknown, no one never published.

And what about Russia?What is the longest Russian name?It turns out that it is - one of the most common names - Constantine, although there is some variation.But Russian called his name.Although if you take names, which is almost not used, and Panteleimon Appolinary be longer than a single letter.Alexander and Yefrosinya - leaders in the number of letters to women's Russian name.
