Belay those. No-one beats the Welsh!

I pulled that from memory, I kid you not, but I won't vouch for flawless

spelling. There might be whole syllab;les missing...



The New Zealanders do with a hill called

"Taumata�whakatangihanga�koauau�o�tamateaï ¿½turi�pukakapiki�maunga�horo�nuku�pokai �whenua�kitanatahu"



"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".



... and no it's not from memory, I had to google it to get it correct.
