In German the following is a completely valid sentence:

Wenn hinter Fliegen Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach.

Which translates to when flies fly behind flies, then flies follow flies. The same works for seals:

Wenn hinter Robben Robben Robben, robben Robben Robben nach.

The same works in Dutch:

Als vliegen achter vliegen vliegen, vliegen vliegen vliegen achterna.

Although my favourite form of that tongue twister is:

Als vliegende vliegen achter vliegende vliegen vliegen, vliegen de vliegende vliegen vliegensvlug.

When flying flies fly behind flying flies, the flying flies fly rapidly ("flying fast").

You can say "fleetly" instead of "rapidly". Actually "rapidly" sounds incorrect when describing flying.

Some Hungarian prefixes can be piled on without limit, while still creating meaning.

The word "úszni" means "to swim".

Úsztatni - to make someone or someone swim
Úsztattatni - to make someone make someone swim
Úsztattattattattattattattattattni - to make someone make someone make someone ... make someone swim

Can be done with any verb, and maybe some other suffixes as well.

Strangely enough, this works in Finnish too:

Uida - to swim

Uittaa - to make someone or something swim

Uitattaa - to make someone make someone swim

Uitattattattattattattattattattaa - to make someone make someone make someone … make someone swim

It's almost as if they are related languages or something.

Wow, that's wild. Amazing language

It's basically a mishmash of Ancient Ugric, Turkish, German, Slavic and Romani words with grammar that is an eldritch monstrosity, nobody really knows where it came from, and it is seriously weird.

There are only two real tenses, but nineteen cases and two different ways of doing imperative, which are kind of equivalent but carry cultural and tonal differences in certain contexts.

English has Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo

I don't know what it means but I've been told it is indeed a full sentence.

There are no buffalo in Buffalo!
