Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukakapiki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­kitanatahu.

Yes - it is officially the longest place name in the world. It is Māori for "The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one".

It's location is in North Island, New Zealand.
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu is it's short form.

By the way, if you can pronounce Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukakapiki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­kitanatahu, then you really need to get a life.

I can pronounce and spell Pneumonoultramicroscopicsiliovolcanoconiosis, but Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukakapiki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­kitanatahu is just too long.

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaunga, is a hill in New Zealand, near Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The height of the hill is 305 metres (1,001 ft). The hill is notable primarily for its unusually long name, which is of Māori origin; it is often shortened to Taumata for brevity.2 It has gained a measure of fame as it is the longest place name found in any English-speaking country, and possibly the longest place name in the world, according to World Atlas.3 The name of the hill (with 85 characters) has also been listed in the Guinness World Records as the longest place name. Other versions of the name, including longer ones, are also sometimes used.

How bored are you to actually search this up? It’s a place in New Zealand, meaning “The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his kōauau to his loved one“.

Taumaranui

Taumaranui is a place located between Mt Ruapehu and Te Kuiti in Central North Island, New Zealand. Quite like tokoroa, Taumaranui is known for dope plantations, teenage mothers, and alcoholism in schools. This is the result of bad parenting, diseases for the layers of spit on the sidewalk and tinnies for a low price of $5 at the local supermarket.
Rungi: "Im headin to taumaranui to get us sum dopes for cheap for us, and i mite c ur sista on the way ow, if you no wat i mean ow, ow."

Jeff: "Churr ow"
