Muckanaghederdauhaulia, Irish Muiceanach idir Dhá Sháile — it is pronounced in Irish something like mwick-annak-ithir-gaw-haul-ya, the th sound as in the or there, not as in throw — and is translated into English as pig marsh between two seas, or briny inlets, is a village in the Connemara Gaeltacht between Camus and Carraroe, in County Galway, Ireland. Its name is said to be the longest toponym in the Irish language, and the longest Ireland-related toponym in any language.
