Okay Szwede Slavic Books gets an award for this one. "Handwritten Russian-Tatar Dictionaries of the 17th and 18th Century". Makes for great reading. Books like this are useful for playing the "Find the Longest Word" game. I was shocked by the length of words in Finland. I don't speak Finnish, so that's probably why they seem daunting. Tatar words can be just as long if not longer. I think the Guiness Book lists the longest word as being a Turkish word.
