After reading yonasu’s post a while back about a tongue twister he cam up with I have been mildly interested in Japanese tongue twisters. So my teacher pointed me to some good tongue twisters. According to goo ranking. Here are the Top 10 Japanese tongue twisters. (I have romanized them, but not separated the words)

These are a lot of fun I think. What do you all think of them?
“basugasubakuhatsu”
My favorite.
Yeah I really like that one too. Its short and funny.
I’ve been doing Japanese tongue twisters for awhile. Good round-up, though I’ve come across alternate forms of a bunch of them. Anyhoo – here are a few things I noticed that you may want to correct. Anyhoo – nicely done.
åĩ is ããžã (tamago). Not tamaga.
In number 6, 㯠is wa, not ha. It’s the particle.
åä¸ģ is ãŧãã (bouzu). Not boosu.
ã isn’t displaying properly on a few, too…character encoding problem?
I really like this one two…
niwa ni wa niwa, ura niwa ni mo niwa, niwa ni mo uraniwa ni mo niwa zutsu niwatori ga iru
