Mandarin Chinese! Here's Dashan performing the "Four is four, ten is ten" (四是四,十是十) tongue twister: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpUuFb6-OgA&t=128s

Sì shì sì, shí shì shí
四是四,十是十
Four is four, ten is ten

Shísì shì shísì, sìshí shì sì shí
十四是十四,四十是四十
Fourteen is fourteen, forty is fourty

Shuí yào bǎ shísì shuōchéng "sísì", jiù dǎ tā shísì
谁要把十四说成 "sísì", 就打他十四
Whoever says fourteen as "sísì", hit them fourteen (times)

Shuí yào bǎ sìshí shuōchéng "shìshí", jiù dǎ tā shìshí
谁要把四十说成 "事实", 就打他四十。
Whoever says forty as "fact", hit them forty (times)


Tongue twisters are a staple in "Crosstalk" or 相声 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangsheng). Here's Dashan again with a tongue twister (starts at 2:05), http://v.ku6.com/show/mn6TsS2nS-Dz6uHmBAeqhw...html?loc=youce_tuijian. This epic tongue twister tells the story of a Lama (喇嘛, lǎmā, Tibetan high priest) and a mute (哑巴, yǎbā).

"A Lama was coming from the south, carrying five kilos of tǎmā (鳎目, a kind of fish). A mute was coming from the north, bearing a trumpet (喇叭, lǎbā). The mute bearing the trumpet wanted to use the trumpet to exchange for the the tama-carrying Lama's tama, but the tama-carrying Lama didn't want to use tama to exchange for the trumpet-bearing mute's trumpet.

"The tama-carrying Lama got impatient and wanted to hit the trumpet-bearing mute with his tama. The trumpet-bearing mute also got impatient and wanted to hit the tama-carrying Lama with his trumpet. But we don't know if it was the tama-carrying Lama who hit the trumpet-bearing mute soundly with tama, and we also don't know if it was the trumpet-bearing mute who beat the tama-carrying Lama soundly with the trumpet.

"The Lama went home and stewed tama. The mute went home and didly-dadly played the trumpet."
