PORANGANAU, NIEU-SEELAND. – Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikiaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu is die plek in die wêreld met die langste naam. Dit bevat 85 letters.

Dit is ‘n 1 000 voet of 305 meter hoë heuwel in die noorde van Nieu-Seeland wat na Tamatea, ‘n legendariese Maori-ontdekker, vernoem is.

Indien jy dit vertaal, beteken dit: “the summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.”
