Muckanaghederdauhaulia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muckanaghederdauhaulia (Irish: Muiceanach idir Dhá Sháile) is a village in County Galway, Ireland. The full translation of the Irish is pig-marsh between two seas — or briny inlets, in this instance.
It is a small protrusion of land into Camus Bay (Cuan Chamais) in the Connemara Gaeltacht directly west of Cinn Mhara on the R336 between Camus and An Cheathrú Rua, in County Galway, Ireland. Muckanaghederdauhaulia is believed to be the longest place name in Ireland.
Muckanaghederdauhaulia is one of the ports visited and painted by Bartlebooth in Life: A User's Manual by Georges Perec. It is believed to be the longest port name in the world. In the novel, Bartlebooth also visits U, believed to the shortest port name (in the Caroline Islands).
