Languages other than English have tongue twisters, too. Twisters are universal and appear in nearly every culture and language to help practice pronunciation and diction. Examples can be found in languages such as Czech, Latin, French, German, Russian, and Mandarin Chinese. In Spanish, they’re called trabalenguas, literally 'tongue jammer'. In French, it’s virelangue (tongue twist), and in German, they call them Zungenbrecher, 'tongue breaker'.
