- At 58 letters, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch is the longest town name in all of Europe. It wasn't always the town's name, though-in the 1860s, the name was developed as a way to entice tourists to make the town a stop on their travels. It's an amalgamation of the Welsh words and names for local landmarks, and it's probably the best PR stunt of the 1860s-or today. So yeah, welcome to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch! You don't need to be able to say it to enjoy your stay.

They could just call it *G O G O G O C H*
@@thwales2520 tru but theres loads of llanfairs XD
I call it Llanfairgogogoch
i think its safe to say that 90% of people watching this can only pronounce the "gogogoch" part
Me too its funny and the llll part is funny too. I can only pronounce "Llanfairpwllngyll.............lllantys............gogogoch
siliogogogoch :)) nothing more 😂
Actually proud of myself getting it right,, after a week of practice 🤣
I got the Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, the llllantysiliogogogoch part, and some of gogerychwyrndrobwy soooooo.....
ye and now they all learn it to be cool and after 10 years when everyone can actually pronounce it correctly, the place is being renamed :'D

As a welsh person I am very proud of my country, and I have been learning welsh all my life for the last decade and many more years to come
As you should. It’s a beautiful country, and it’s people are very hospitable.
Did you not learn it as a child?
@@alcazar123456 Unfortunately it's a language that has been in decline for hundreds of years, most people in Wales speak English. In fact it was illegal to use Welsh in court, so a native Welsh speaker who didn't speak anything else would not even have been able to defend themselves legally!
I do like the fact that the station platform is completely accessible to the public without needing to go through any barriers or buy a platform ticket. You can just walk through the car park and out onto the platform and over the bridge to get your photo next to the sign. Also attracts tourists.
Y’all ain’t even gonna mention the weather guy that pronounced this correctly
I think it was before this don't guarantee that tho
why would they?
He's from Wales. Most people can say it here.
Thata why i clicked..i saw the name.and remembered the news guy.
News bloopers xD
The English on that sign should have been translated as: “The little village with the long name”
Excellent Video! Love how all of the locals had their short interviews in answering questions about the town. It’s got such a homey feel and makes me want to visit!

They made up the name for tourism...so technically any city in the world can do the same
Wait, so the super long name is basically a 19th century clickbait??

Yes, before everyone’s intellect moved online, they called it “piquing someone’s interest”.

Thanks to whoever made that song. That's the only way I could have even attempted to learn it.
My grandma first told me about the town and I ended up learning how to say if off by heart. I find it interesting how everyone who actually lives there tend to pronounce the name of the village slightly differently each time.
Because by the time they pronounce it they are grow that much more older.

When you naming your town, but end up falling asleep on the keyboard:
In Welsh, “LL” is a different sound than two “L”, so words can start or end with it. So in the name, “bwll” and “llan” happened to be right next to each other, causing a double-double-L!
But you forgot to say how "LL" is pronounced in Welsh!
