Alliteration

    Alliterative verse in one form or another is shared by all of the older Germanic languages.
    languages.


    Alliteration can be either assonance, using repeated initial vowel sounds, or consonance, using repeated initial
    consonant sounds.

    Well-known examples of alliteration are tongue-twisters such as "Round the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran"
    or "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".

    Alliteration makes for very catchy phrases and is frequently used in modern news headlines, corporate names,
    literary titles, , buzzwords, and nursery rhymes. Some examples:
