Minimum length?

[edit]

The longest word in Svenska Akademiens ordlista (SAOL) is realisationsvinstbeskattning with 28 letters. As there are no definitions on Wiktionary that set the exact length of "a long word", I suggest that we on this list only includes word that are of equal or longer length as realisationsvinstbeskattning, i.e. 28 or more letters.

I admit that this is an quite arbitrary limit on a subjective matter. But I think that any word longer than the longest word in SAOL can be assumed to be "a long word".

Until a larger concensus is formed, this will be my personal threshold for words added to this list. --Christoffre (talk) 20:09, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
