Reply to comment by JD_SLICK in [OC] Number of English Words by Length in Letters and Syllables by OfficialWireGrind
Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft used to be famous for a while as the longest, but it's only 8 syllables as well. Do not know the current status. Of course you can just create longer words, but they are then not 'official' (as far as that exists).
I will create one for you:
Schwerbehindertenvertretungsfachkraftassistent/in.
13 syllables or 14 for the female version. Would be the assistant to a person that works in a council for people with disabilities. Probably wouldn't be named like this, since we wouldn't go that far, but it's possible in principle.
