Do the Welsh know about this ?

'Taumatawhakatangi­hangakoauauotamatea­turipukakapikimaunga­horonukupokaiwhen­uakitanatahu'.

 

Apparently it's the name of a hill near Porangahau, in the Hawkes Bay area of New Zealand. Certainly puts the Taff's

 

'Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch' in the shade. They'll be well miffed if they knew.  

LOL

 

 

My mum, after visiting the UK, gave me a 'Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch' sticker which has pride of place on my fridge.

The Wiktionary says that it translates to - The hill where the great traveller (Chief) Tamatea with the bony knees, who slid and climbed mountains, played his flute to his beloved.

That's a nice name, it brings a smile to my face.
