Bulgarian tongue twisters
Split off from Famous tongue twisters over a year ago, this page contains no English-language content. Even if someone were to come in and translate these (as unlikely as that is), there's no way to source these, and since they would almost certainly lose their "tongue twister" effect through the translation, I don't know that there's any reason for including these in the English language Wikiquote. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, though it does have a certain WTF charm. --Ubiquity 23:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete on the grounds that no English translation is provided or likely to be forthcoming. Comment: Like the numerous proverbs articles, these are not unverifiable-in-principle, and I'd hate to see the entire contents of Category:Tongue twisters deleted as LrdChaos seems to be suggesting.  (I had a look at Finnish tongue twisters and saw a few I recognized, which means there must be a published source for at least some of them.  I know there are actually books of English tongue twisters out there.)  I recognize LrdChaos's concern that these don't seem to be obviously related to English-language quotations, but here's a thought experiment:  If a notable author were to publish a work in English on the phonology of Swahili, or on Old Frisian morphology, then surely quotes from that work could find a place here?  I would also note in passing that we have incoming transwiki from WP of another tongue-twister article, so it seems to be the WP community's impression at least that WQ is the right place for this sort of material.  121a0012 06:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per 121a0012's vote. 121a0012 and LrdChaos raise some points that are worth considering at length, but I'm too tired right now to add my thoughts, so I'll just punt on the comments. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
