As a German I have access to words like "Moselschifffahrtspolizeimützenverordnung" and that's a mild one :)

Stupid German proving me wrong with something that most languages don't have access to.

I'm sure German is not alone, but it is the only one I'm aware of - though with over 7000 known languages I doubt anyone knows enough to state anything with confidence.

I believe Sanskrit has some very long words like 600 Roman letters or something
