As of 2020, according to Guinness World Records, which country is home to the longest place name in the world?
Correct answer: New Zealand
Dr Philip Channard
I always thought that Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Wales was the longest name of a place. Learn something new every day!

Harry, Maori is its own language - known as Te Reo ; while some similarities to Japanese it is assumed to have originated in the Pacific - perhaps from a now underwater Island whose inhabitant's left in 7 giant canoes and ended up in New Zealand, or Aotearoa as they call it.
