haha everyone knows its from me
Its not a secret story

mid rug munch?

That's not even difficult to say.

The old "sally sells seashells..." presents more of a challenge.

Maybe it's the idea of cunnilingus that gets your tongue twisted?

"A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk stunk."

Try saying that ONCE... I triple dog dare you :P

red blood black blood x 10

impossible!!!

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll!

I failed at X3

According to the guinness book of world records, the most difficult one in the world is a Czech one;

see below (stick your finger through your neck)


For you fellow slavs;
There's another phrase also with no vowels that's challenging; "Prd krt skrz drn, zprv zhlt hrst zrn" (A mole farted through grass, having swallowed a handful of grains).

Also try;
T�istat�iat�icet st��brn�ch k�epelek p�elet�lo p�es t�istat�iat�icet st��brn�ch st�ech (Three hundred and thirty three silver quails flew over three hundred and thirty three silver roofs).

Use rolling R's, the � is pronounced like a ch, the z is pronounced like ts.

Don't even bother trying "�"... it't the hardest letter to pronounce in the world (according to my linguistics professor). It's a rolling R (rrrroll up the rrrim) simultaneously pronounced with a soft french J (as in Je).

Ask me on Cevapi Day.

How do you get proper accents here dammit!

"she sells seashells" >

It's difficult saying it all in one breath cause it's so long, but yeah, this is a good one.


P.S. Screw you, Fahad.

lol thats some crazy letters. was that all czech?

i love the serbian alphabet. 100% phonetic. a baby can spell

although i was actually talking to my dad about this a few days ago and he said, ya its nice that its easier NOW. as in this is a new alphabet implemented no more the 200 years ago. before that the language was just as complex as any other. the problem is very few ppl know the old serbian and there are tons of books written in it. so no one knows how to read them and decode them atleast to the new alphabet. kinda sucks i suppose..

Czech is also phonetic... I just can't get the right letters' accents properly in this text. I believe it's the default fonts used on TA, that converts them to some scandinavian ones.

Whenever I type the C with the 'hatchek' in the t-shirt above, TA converts it to a � in lower case and a Č in upper case (upper case worked)

Here's one that I kinda thought of, when I used to talk buy a shoe polish guy frequently.

"Shoe shine sir?"

" Betty bought some butter but the butter was bitter, so Betty bought some better butter to make the bitter butter better."

"She makes a proper cup of coffee from a copper coffee pot"

Now THAT is a tongue twister!

3 Polish ones that I will recite upon request upon meeting any of you

1. Stol spowyla mywanymi nogami
(translation: the table has no legs)

2. Chrzaszcz brzmi w trzcinie w Strzebrzeszynie
(something about a cricket chillin by the pond making noise)

3. Tata, czy tata czyta cytaty Tacyta?
(Daddy, are you reading the Tacyt citations?)



Edit: this one blossomed on its own last summer when I was visiting my family in Polska:

"Ani Ania ani ja"
(Translation: "Neither me nor Ania"
sounds like: Anyee Anyaa Anyee Ya - say it fast...sounds EFFED!)
