The longest language of all is definitely Politician.
A representative can talk for ours actually saying nothing... |

I'd try the Bible. Say Genesis, or one of the Gospels. Hundreds of translation languages to choose from, including, in the case of the Gospels, the original Greek versions from which all the translations emerge. The King James translation is a masterpiece of simple language, it was prepared that way intentionally.
Also you can chose just about any text length you like for comparison. |
