The Pushkin Institute conducted a study using artificial intelligence, as a result of which the longest word in the modern Russian language was revealed.

Pavel Katyshev, head of the Department of General and Russian Linguistics at this university, told RIA Novosti about this. The searched word turned out to be a complex adjective consisting of 55 letters.

"Using the help of artificial intelligence, we found out that the adjective "tetrahydropyranylcyclopentyltetrahydropyridopyridine" - 55 letters — apparently claims the status of the longest Russian word," said the linguist.

He explained that this term was used in 2006 in the patent for the invention. The head of the department noted that the Russian language very easily absorbs complex, multicomponent words.

"This is also due to the fact that the status of the longest word quickly moves from one unit to another," the expert said.

He pointed out that due to these features of the "great and mighty", length records often replace each other. According to the Guinness Book of Records, previously the longest word was "overcompliant" of 35 letters.

Kadyshev stressed that despite the existence of such giant words, they are rarely used in colloquial speech. Usually Russians use prepositions, conjunctions and particles in conversation.

As EADaily reported, earlier, Russian Presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky advocated the return of historical Russian names to the settlements of Novorossiya on maps.
