В Эстонии сегодня отмечают День родного языка. Так что у меня профессиональный праздник. :) По этому поводу милая статья на английском о странностях эстонского языка. В этой статье эстонцы гордятся своими бесконечно длинными словами, а также 24-буквенным палиндромом. И не только.
"One of the most fascinating things about Estonian is the fact that it's possible to form endless compounds by converting the first word into the next word's genitive. Take "isaspaabulinnusabakattesulesilmamunavärvivabrikukuldväravaauvahtkonnaülemapühapäevajakirinnataskusisevoodrivahe", for example, or the more reasonable "uusaastaöövastuvõtuhommikuidüll", which an eager Wikipedia contributor has even managed to use in a sentence.
But our favorite is "kuulilennuteetunneliluuk" (the hatch a bullet flies out of when exiting a tunnel), not because of its impressive 24-letter length, but for the fact that it's a palindrome - it can be read from both ends and it looks exactly the same. Estonia loses out to Finnish though, which has two 25-letter palindromes in its arsenal, and Dutch, with a whopping 33-letter monster."
