Catalan:
"Setze jutges d'un jutjat mengen fetge d'un penjat." 16 judges from a tribunal eat liver from a hanged man Spanish: "Compadre, cómpreme un coco. Compadre, no compro coco, que el que poco coco come, poco coco compra. Como poco coco como poco coco compro." Buddy, buy me a coconut. Buddy, I do not buy coconut, because the one who eats few coconut, buys few coconut. As I eat few coconuts then I buy few coconuts. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hiya! :)
No greek tongue-twisters, as I can see...So, here they are. 1.Mia papia, ma pia papia? Mia papia me papia. Μια πάπια, μα πιά πάπια;Μια πάπια με παπιά. A duck, but which duck? A duck with ducklings. 2.Aspri petra xexaspri, ki'ap ton ilio xexasproteri. Ασπρη πέτρα ξέξασπρη, κι'απ τον ήλιο ξεξασπρότερη. Snow-white stone, and bleached even more by the sun. 3.Ο παπάς ο παχύς έφαγε παχιά φακή. Γιατί παπά παχύ έφαγες παχιά φακή; O papas o pahis afagie pahia faki. Giati papa pahi efagies pahia faki The fat priest ate thick lentil soup. Why o, fat priest did you eat thick lentil soup? 4. Ο τζίτζιρας, ο μίτζιρας, ο τζιτζιμιτζιχότζιρας, ανέβηκε στη τζιτζιριά, στη μιτζιριά, στη τζιτζιμιτζιχοτζιριά, κι έκοψε τα τζίτζιρα, τα μίτζιρα, τα τζιτζιμιτζιχότζιρα. O tzitziras, o mitziras, o tzitzimitzihotziras, anevike sti tzitziria, sti mitziria, sti tzitzimitzihotziria, ki ekopse ta tzitzira, ta mitzira, ta tzitzimitzihotzira. (no sense at all - although tzitziKAS is a cicada..) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

One Swedish tougue twister that I know:
Sju sköna sjuksköterskor skötte sju sjösjuka sjöman. Seven pretty nurses looked after seven seasick seamen. And I can say that 'ett pepparkorn i en kopparpanna' up till 'fjorton pepparkorn i en kopparpanna' after some practise, but often forget which number it will be after femton, Hencke. A Chinese one now. 吃葡萄不吐葡萄皮儿，不吃葡萄倒吐葡萄皮儿 。 chi pu tao bu tu pu tao pir, bu chi pu tao dao tu pu tao pir. It means something like 'not spit out the grapeskin while eating grapes, spit out the grapeskin while not eating grapes.' 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
