English term or phrase: tongue twister

I need a good and thoughtful Persian equivalence for this term. tongue twsister as you may know is a kind of play with language which is hard to say mainly because of the similar frequent sound pattern such as :Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. As far as I Know Farsi doen not conceptualize this term.

Regards.

زبان چرخان به هر عبارتی گفته می شود که بیان شمرده آن، دشوار باشد. در هر زبان زنده دنیا به مثالهایی از این عبارات بر می خوریم. مثال آشنای آن در زبان فارسی ”شیش سیخ جیگر سیخی شیش زار“ می باشد. این عبارات در زبان انگلیسی نیز فراوانند. در اینجا به چند مثال اشاره می شود (برای راحتی کار، تلفظ برخی از آنها نیز ذکر شده است):

She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
