Note: while I have done my best to make the sentences make sense (and maybe even so in fun ways), I developed these tongue-twisting sentences primarily for phonetic practice.  However, feel free to use them where you please :)


'LL: Plltxe: hllteyä kllte sì txll'u hu ewll kxll soli.

'RR: Mrra frrtu sì lrrtok amrr sì mrra ngrr sì vrrtep amrr, wrrpa fawnrrfena 'Rrta, prrkxentrrkrr si srrìri nìhrrap.  Fol fa(s)yrrfen 'Rrtati krro krro.

NB: Our forum Skxawng has spoken this one too.

'LL and 'RR together: Teri prrplla prrwll wrrpa plltxe!

Minimal, using mostly T, U, L, and E: Tute lu tete ulte tute lu teng.  Tute lu tute te tupe?

Pxaya vowels: Ayu soaiä ayoehu räpìyey nìmeoauniaea.

Pxaya vowels nì'ul: 'Eoioa meoauniaeaoio oe 'ieia.

Txan teri C (TS): Oe sìlpoley tsnì tstewa tsmukan luke tstxo tsraymì namatsew tspivang, slä tstal tskosì swizaw ke tsamun tslivam.

Txan teri G (NG): Ngima ngawng mì ngengeyä ngima ngäng lu ngul.  Nìngay ngal nantangit ngolängop nang!

Pxaya pxorpam: Nìkeftxo pxia atxkxe atxur pxolor.  Lalmu atxkxeyä pxunur spxina stxeli sì pxaya ayìpxa sì kxa a poltxe nìtxan sì letxepa sxkxawng.  Set ultxa si kxitx kxututa.

The Break Consonant (Glottal Stop): 'Ivong 'oma Na'vi nì'i'a, taluna olo' alu Rina' a'o' na'rìngmì lu 'e'al nìngay ulte prrte' oeri re'o livu.

... in an 'i'a pattern: Nì'i'a hì'ia tì'i'a a'a'aw 'i'a.

K-vowel: Vulka ke kä ko, ki kä ka ram ko!

[Coming soon]

Ay, ay, AY!: Ayikranay nìngay tswayayon ayfayfyavay ahay hayalo.  Lu yayayr srak?  hayalovay :)

'AW! That hurt...not ;): Kawkrr law nawnìna oe syaw 'awlo pxaw aungia awngeyä.  Sawtuteyä tsawla ayausiyu atspawnang nìhawng tamìng aungia ulte oe 'olefu rawke.

Ä, with some E and I thrown in: Oe ätxäle säpi äieio sì swirä asyä'ä, ulte kivä nìngäzìk, ulte rä'ä miväkxu oe.

O (make it pure, rutxe, as in the audio below!), and poetic, too: Kop, rewon lefpom oeru.  Tseo olo'ä nì'awlo lu 'o'.  Nìkeftxo, laroa mefo melo mamakto mìso.  Ha, kivä ko! 'EKO! 'EKO! 'EKO!

U (make it pure, rutxe!), and poetic, too: Lu oeru 'upxare mì uk, ulte ultxa lu tsatseng teri toruk.  Ziva'u, ma tsmuk, ulte lu txur, taluna kawnga ayunil lu tsatsengur!

EY sì EW: Pey, fu Txewì nìyew ftxivey kxeyeyt atstew.

[Coming soon]

One FWom FWommer: Fwäkì ke fwefwi.

[Coming soon]

Another canon tongue-twister (no N is pronounced as an M here): Pori pxunpxaw lu pxawpxun.

[Coming soon]

Any others out there?


EDIT: Grammar keyey, added audio examples...

QuoteTxan teri G (NG): Ngima ngawng mì ngeyä ngima ngäng lu ngul.  Nìngay nga nantang ngolängop nang!
Shouldn't it be "Nìngay ngal nantangit ngolängop nang!"?

Edited the case markings.  Good catch...

Constructing such things is a bit of a hobbytsyìp of mine, in any language (including Klingon). Here're some I have for Na'vi:

'Eoioa meoauniaeaeo oe 'ieia

Ikranay nìngay tswayayon ayfayfyavay ahay hayalo

Nì'i'a hì'ia tì'i'a a'a'aw 'i'a

Tse sre sìsrese'a tsre'i sre'it uo 'uo a äo 'ä'o

These are really nice to practice, but also a bit discouraging ='D ahah

Payoang isn't on this thread?...:D

Anyway, ma Sxkxawng, I'm loving these, especially the trilling practice one. I said that about 100+ times one night before bed. My mom came in and gave me the most surreal look. xD
