What do you think is the best language?

Come to think of it, dutch has some devillish streetnames
Oudezijdsachterburgwal, Noordscharwouderpolderweg, Burgemeester Baron van Voerst van Lyndenstraat, Burgemeester Jonkheer Quarles van Uffordlaan.
(Fun making algorithms to match that to JQ Ufoodlane)

Doesn't hold a candle to the Welsh town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch though.
Yeah that caused some nasty buffer overflow errors.

Hehe, we actually have a project, for that we try to find the right geographic point for a given address. As different people inputted these addresses we have to handle all sort of stuff in the address records. Luckily we aren't embedded, so we can use enough memory, so that buffer overflows don't happen with such short names as this welsh one.

Yeah good times, so many different ways to spell place and streetnames with prefixes, suffixes, abbreviations, aliases and what not.
And there are plenty of places with streetnames in multiple languages, plus as we found there are a lot of municipalities with duplicate streetnames. Sending people 30km the wrong way is not good advertising.
