that one seems too easy to me :P
It's easy for a native, but for new learners who still mix up kepala with kelapa it could be challenging.

The one I learned is similar to the OP:
Kok kuku kaki kakekku kaku, kak?
Here's another one:
Ular melingkar lingkar makan agar agar diatas pagar.
But the mother of all tongue twister i think...is the chinese tongue twister...can't remember it exactly since I don't speak the language...but it's something about '40 is not 4..4 is not 40.." or something like that.
How about this: kuku kaki kakekku kaku kaku kena paku
The J language
Jeng Juminten, Jawa, janda judes, jelamitan, jelek jerawatan, jari jempolnya jorok.
Jaman jaringan jualan jenjangan jamak, Jeng juminten jajal jualan jamu jarak jauh Jogya–Jakarta.
Jamu jagoannya: jamu jahe.
"Jamu-jamuuu..., jamu jahe..., jamu jaheee..., jamu jaheee..., jamu jaheee ji-ceng-an!",
Jeng Juminten jerit-jerit jajakan jamu jagoannya, jelajahi jalanan, jembatan jumpa jembatan, jengkal-jengkalan, jungkat-jungkit, jepak-jepok.
"Jamuuu... Jaheee...!!! Jamu jaheee ji-ceng-an!",
Jeng Jumiten jejeritan, jajakan jualan jagoannya,
Jailah, "Jedug", ... jariknya Jeng Jumiten jatuh, Jeng Juminten jatuh jumpalitan. Jeng Juminten, jerit-jerit, jejeritan:
"Jarikku jatuh, jarikku jatuh..., jarikku jatuh..., jarikku jebol..., jebol..., jebol... jarikku...u...u...u... ... ... "
Jeng Juminten jengkel, jualan jamunya jungkar-jungkiran, jadi jemu juga. Jiamput!!!
:wink:

Thanks guys, these are some great tongue twisters. If and when I go back to the classroom from my Ed Dept desk job, I will certainly give them to my students to try. Loved the J-J-J-Javanese one too :)

I know a few: ular lari lurus, repeat ad nauseam.
satu biru, dua biru, tiga biru...
Seh-se pu seh seh, seh pu seh seh-se.
Seh-se pu seh seh-se, seh pu seh seh-se?
Fourteen ain't forty, ain't it (who?? :confused:)?
