The most popular eye color in the world. Why green-eyed people are especially priceless
My daughter, when she was little, couldn’t pronounce the letter “R”. Until she was 4 years old, I put up with it, and then, after studying a bunch of literature on the Internet, I began to work hard with it. Within 2 months, she and I finally began to pronounce this ill-fated letter and of course I calmed down. But in lately It began to seem to me that my daughter was saying the letter “R” indistinctly, and sometimes as if she was even swallowing it. And we started playing tongue twisters with her. I think this should help.
Why do children need tongue twisters?
Remember the long-known tongue twister about Clara, who stole the long-suffering corals from Karl? With what excitement, having heard these difficult-to-pronounce phrases for the first time, we tried to repeat them without hesitation and failed. This made others laugh and amused ourselves.
Karl has corals. Clara has a clarinet.
Clara stole corals from Karl, Karl stole a clarinet from Clara.
Karl has no guards, Clara does not have a clarinet.
After practicing a certain number of times, we improve our pronunciation, our tongue is no longer so slurred, and at some point we discover that we have won the tongue twister.
And the most famous tongue twisters are so familiar to everyone since childhood that everyone knows them by heart. Remember how “the cuckoo bought a hood” or about Sasha, who was walking along the highway?
What is a tongue twister? This is a specially selected phrase with a selection of sounds that is difficult to pronounce, a quickly pronounced comic saying or joke. Tongue twisters are sometimes also called “nursery tales” or “pure twisters.”
In Rus', tongue twisters appeared in ancient times. They helped the child quickly master his native speech and learn to speak well. But it cannot be said that tongue twisters can serve as auxiliary speech exercises to achieve intelligibility and expressiveness of diction only in children. They are also popular among adults.
The first person to pay attention to tongue twisters was the famous collector of Russian folklore V.I. Dal, who wrote them down in his book “Proverbs of the Russian People.” The recordings of these ancient tongue twisters reflect centuries gone by. As an example, I will give just one tongue twister, which seems to have originated during the Tatar-Mongol invasion: “Seven of those red-hot arrows, monster.”
Why are tongue twisters needed? Tongue twisters are used to develop the speech of children, artists, radio presenters, announcers, teachers and anyone who would like to speak expressively, legibly and clearly. Speech therapists are sure to use tongue twisters in their work against tongue-tiedness, because it is effective remedy to develop correct pronunciation. When people practice speaking tongue twisters out loud, their speech becomes more flexible and perfect. Diction acquires purity and distinctness over time. Being necessary element oratory skills, exercises in quickly pronouncing complex combinations of sounds “polish” speech.
There are many tongue twisters, which can be very diverse in their themes, from children's jokes, similar to a fairy tale, to all sorts of jokes with a professional touch, for example:
The tailor puffed, ripped his coat,
I sewed the loops firmly,
Cleaned the dust spot
I sang a song on the side.
There are also patter masterpieces in the same humorous spirit with national motifs, for example, English, Japanese or Indian. As an example, I suggest trying to repeat a small Indian tongue twister.
Big bison run like a buffalo.
And the following funny tongue twister from the animal world will probably make many smile.
The toads fried fatty acorns,
They greedily ate jasmine, jojoba,
The toads lived a fat life.
They waited for complaints, chewing hotly.
It’s very exciting to try to write tongue twisters yourself. This is a painstaking task, but the creative result is usually unique, unlike anything that already exists. And if you invite one of your friends to practice quickly pronouncing new tongue twisters, this could be the beginning of a friendly competition. You can spend long winter evenings training your skills in the art of patter, or you can even try to organize small competition on some holiday for guests.
And finally, I want to offer a large tongue-twister poem that can be used as a repetition of the alphabet for schoolchildren.

Currently, quite often in lessons in elementary school teachers use tongue twisters. In some curricula, a certain number of hours are allocated for this genre of folk art. Undoubtedly, an experienced teacher can clearly explain to children what a tongue twister is, identify its features, and explain the differences and similarities with other genres of folk art. But in curriculum this one is not taken into account important point, as the history of the emergence of tongue twisters. This topic is very important, but unfortunately historical information a little on this topic.
Works of this genre are particularly fascinating phenomena that can be found in both children's and adult literature. However, not everyone can clearly explain what a tongue twister is. Surely many will remember how captivating the magic of words was in texts like the following: “He was driving a Greek across the river, he sees a Greek: there is a cancer in the river. He put the Greek’s hand in the river, and the crayfish grabbed the Greek’s hand - tsap!” In this case, one of the variations of this tongue twister is presented, of which you can find a huge number.
Origin of tongue twisters
If you pay attention to collections of folklore works, you will notice that there are few tongue twisters presented in them. This is especially noticeable when compared with the number of riddles or works of other genres of folk art. Not even in every source one can find the very definition of the concept “tongue twister”. Based on a number of texts regarding the origin of tongue twisters, we can conclude that they appeared a very long time ago, but exact time not indicated in any source.
First collection of tongue twisters
In 1862, V. Dahl first published tongue twisters in a textbook work. In a separate section, he clearly explained what a tongue twister is and published a whole collection of essays on this topic. V. Dahl’s merit also lay in the fact that he made the first attempts to systematize works of this genre of folk art. He singled out a specific one for tongue twisters scientific term. By the way, it is also interesting that in comparison with riddles and proverbs, of which more than thirty thousand were noted, he cited only forty-nine tongue twisters. The quantitative indicators differ significantly, which is immediately noticeable. It is interesting to note that most of the tongue twisters were designed not for children's perception, but rather for an adult in their semantic meaning. Among the forty-nine tongue twisters noted, only five can be classified as a “children’s” category.
Definition of tongue twister according to V. Dahl
V. Dahl put a special meaning into the interpretation of the tongue twister. For development speech apparatus, in his opinion, it is imperative to include such texts in the curriculum. V. Dahl justified the need for use by the fact that with their help you can train children in rapid pronunciation. Attention should be paid not only to the rate of pronunciation, but also to clarity. It was noted that in a tongue twister there are sounds that can “collide” with each other. This is intended to make it difficult to pronounce quickly. Very often the semantic meaning of a tongue twister includes a proverb. For example, in the tongue twister “I reported, but didn’t complete the report, but began to complete the report, then reported” it says that everything is not being done as it should be, that is, unsuccessfully and at the wrong time.
Variety of tongue twisters
If we analyze all the tongue twisters that V. Dahl collected in his works, we can immediately note that their range is quite wide. They are classified according to different signs. For example, they can be short or long in size. A separate group includes works with or without repetitions. There are also funny tongue twisters. For speech, depending on the construction, you can use works with one sound or several. Such texts are very often used by speech therapists and educators speech groups preschool institutions for which it is necessary to work out the performance a certain sound. Depending on the capabilities of perception, works intended for children are divided into those that are inaccessible to children’s understanding, that is, complex tongue twisters.
Similarity of tongue twisters with other genres of folk art
When studying tongue twisters as a full-fledged genre of folk art, it was concluded that in their content and structure they are similar to some other types of folk art. For example, the analysis revealed general signs between tongue twisters and proverbs. Similar features were also noted with sayings. Upon careful examination of the jokes, it was also noted that the works of these genres overlap with each other. The conclusions described above were made based on a comparison of the works of V. Dahl and I. Snegirev. Some texts from I. Snegirev’s collection are similar to the tongue twisters that are presented in the works of V. Dahl.
Editions of original tongue twisters
After V. Dahl published his works, for quite a long time no one took on such work. And only at the beginning of the twentieth century, unusual works of this genre of folk art gradually began to appear in some publications. For example, I would like to separately note the valuable contribution to the development of this area of literature of the largest expert on folklore of the Kama region of the pre-revolutionary time, V. Serebryannikov. Some time later, in 1964, more than thirty texts of this genre were collected under one cover. If we consider the second half of the twentieth century, the most significant figures in the field of this genre were V. Anikin, M. Bulatov, A. Razumov, N. Kolpakov. Separately, I would like to highlight among other authors G. Naumenko, who published a large-format collection of folklore. It contained exclusively Russian tongue twisters. The works of such authors as I. Friedrich, M. Novitskaya and others are characterized by fruitful activity in the field of tongue twisters.
Author's tongue twisters
In the twentieth century, a very interesting phenomenon was noted - the appearance of original Russian tongue twisters. But it is worth noting that initially among these only one work of this genre by D. Kharms was identified, entitled “Ivan Toporyshkin”. Among the numerous publications in children's books and magazines of Detgiz, most of the tongue twisters were noted as folk. Specialists who were involved in recording folklore works of this genre recorded them as works of folk art. However, thanks to the work of V. Lunin entitled “Riddles. Tongue Twisters,” published in 1999, was able to confirm the authorship of many tongue twisters, which until a certain time were considered the property of the people. For example, the author of the well-known tongue twister about the cuckoo, the cuckoo and the hood is I. Demyanov. V. Lunin devoted a separate section of his book to this topic. By analyzing the information presented in the section, you can find many folk tongue twisters that completely coincide with the author’s texts. Currently, some tongue twisters in collections are presented with the name of a specific author, and there are some that are still published as folk ones.
The importance of tongue twisters for speech development
Children really like funny tongue twisters. But regardless of the variety, they are all useful for all-round development. If you select main goal tongue twisters, then this will be improving speech. To develop speech, it is useful to use tongue twisters with different characteristics. For diction, for example, texts with one or more sounds are perfect. It is useful to use such works to form expressive, understandable and meaningful speech. Tongue twisters for children are indispensable in terms of strengthening the skill of correctly understanding the meaning of words. They teach children to remember the semantic meaning of what they hear. When learning tongue twisters, mistakes in pronunciation often occur, but you should not take them with condemnation. On the contrary, you can laugh with your child at how interesting it was to pronounce the word.
Methodology for learning tongue twisters
Once you clearly understand what a tongue twister is, you can begin planning and organizing a series of classes using texts from this genre. In order for memorization to be as effective as possible, it is necessary to adhere to a number of certain rules. Children should develop an interest in such activities and a desire to engage in them. At the beginning of the lesson, you should slowly say a tongue twister with arrangement. Then you need to repeat the tongue twister in a whisper, but so that all the sounds in the words are clearly audible. Don't rush while speaking. The next step will be loud pronunciation. Make sure that each sound is pronounced as clearly as possible. Only after the text has been pronounced quietly and loudly can you gradually begin to pronounce it at a fast pace. Clarity and intelligibility are the main rules that should be followed when learning a specific tongue twister. For diction, for example, it is useful to pronounce works with different intonations. The training must be continued until all sounds are pronounced correctly and legibly. The last stage learning will be the pronunciation of the text without hesitation.
Ways to work with children's tongue twisters
There are many interesting and entertaining forms of organizing children’s activities to study and memorize tongue twisters. For example, many children like to learn tongue twisters as follows: The adult gives the child a ball. For each syllable or word, if desired, children throw the ball and pronounce the text legibly. This method is interesting due to the presence game element using a ball. As a rule, children are able to train in this way for quite a long time. Alternatively, you can invite the child to recite the text while throwing the ball from one hand to the other. Similarly, you can organize classes without using a ball. In this case, you can recite the text while clapping your hands to the rhythm. When learning tongue twisters, you can ask your child to fulfill a certain condition: “Speak 5 tongue twisters in a row without missing a beat.” This will teach him to work for results. After some time, you can ask the child to repeat these 5 tongue twisters again to consolidate the skill. I would like to strongly recommend that adults conduct classes with children on learning tongue twisters regularly. Systematic exercises in correct pronunciation will contribute to the formation of the speech apparatus, as well as the comprehensive development of the child’s personality.
The eyes are definitely the window to the soul, and if you know anything about eyes or windows, you know they come in different shades and colors!
Most often, you see brown, blue or brown eyes when you look at people around you, but some people have very rare eye color. What are the rarest eye colors and how are they obtained?
Did you know?
Only 2% of the world's population has green eyes! Talk about rare! The next time you see someone with this color, let them know this fact.
Which one is the most unique?
This list rare flowers The eyes are in no particular order, and if your eye color is one of those listed, consider yourself a very rare person.
1. Black eyes
Have you ever seen someone with eyes that seem black as night? Even though they appear black, they are actually just very, very dark brown. This is caused by an abundance of melanin. You can only tell the difference between a pupil and an iris when looking at a person in bright light!
2. Red/pink eye
Two main conditions cause the eye color to appear red or pinkish: albinism and blood leaking into the iris. Although albinos tend to have very light blue eyes Due to a lack of pigment, some forms of albinism can cause the eye color to appear red or pink.
3. Amber eyes
This beautiful golden eye color is often confused with brown. The difference is that brown eyes have brown and green undertones, while amber eyes have a uniform color. With a small amount of melanin and large quantities carotenoid, eyes of this shade almost glow! Several different animals have this eye color, but it is truly rare in humans.
4. Green eyes
Very little melanin, but too much carotenoid. Only two percent of the population have green eye in the world. This is definitely a very rare color!
5. Purple eyes
Oh, what purple-blue! This color is most often found in people with albinism. They say it is impossible to have purple eyes without albinism. Combine the lack of pigment with the light reflecting off the blood vessels in the eyes and you get that beautiful purple color!
6. Heterochromia
This is not a set of colors, but quite rare disease eye:
- one iris in the eye is a different color from the other irises (David Bowie!);
- there is a place in the iris where one part is a completely different color than the rest of the iris due to pigmentation.
This is a rather unusual type of eye. And some people wear contact lenses to make their eye color more uniform. And I think that this eye color is beautiful, and such a rarity should be appreciated by others!
What determines the color of your eyes?
Many people claim that it is pure genetic factors. For the most part this is true. However, there are also genes that determine a person's eye color.
We now know what determines eye color:
- melanin (brown pigment);
- carotenoid (yellow pigment).
When you see someone with lungs blue eyes, this means there is no melanin or brown pigmentation.
We all used to have brown eyes?
It is believed that the human race previously only had brown eyes and due to genetic mutations, other options have appeared. Perhaps this is why brown is the most common (but no less beautiful)!
So many people who have perfect vision choose to wear contacts just to have a rare eye color, so if you have a rare color, consider yourself lucky!

Eyes are not only a mirror of the soul, but also a kind of decoration. People with green eyes are fraught with magical mystery and mystery, and therefore have always been considered special (they were once even considered sorcerers and witches). Today, green eyes are the rarest in the world. If you are interested in how many people with green eyes live on the planet, the answer is about 2 percent. Why so little? First of all, due to the medieval Inquisition, which mercilessly destroyed their owners. Women with eyes of a unique emerald color were called witches and persecuted in every possible way, and in those days such an accusation was good reason for burning at the stake.
Historians claim that about 90 percent of the women burned at that time were young and without children. Moreover, the superstitious men of that time tried their best to avoid contact with green-eyed ladies, who became fewer and fewer over the years. Hence the current rarity of green - a consequence of the actions of the inquisitors and medieval superstitions.
Pay attention! Eyes are green in people whose body produces a small amount of melanin (this is the pigment that is responsible for the color and color saturation of the iris).
The rarest eye colors
First, let's take a look at which iris colors are considered the rarest. Unusual ones make the owner’s appearance memorable and attract the attention of others.
| Name, photo | Brief description |
|---|---|
| Previously, it was believed that fantastic purple eyes could only be obtained with the help of colored contact lenses, but recently information has appeared that some residents of North Kashmir were endowed with this color by nature itself (not confirmed). Some newborns have a lilac/violet tint to their eyes, but this disappears over time. |
| Are a consequence of the lack of melanin - blood vessels are translucent, and therefore the eyes are the color of blood. Such an extraordinary color is extremely rare to find even in albinos, that is, carriers of the gene. They usually have either brown or blue eyes. |
| Often found among Germans, Irish, and Turks. Carriers of the gene are mostly women. As noted earlier, this rarity is due to the activity of medieval inquisitors. |
| It comes in different shades, the rarest of which is yellowish-gold (“wolf eyes”). A nutty tint may also occur. This is the color of eyes that are often given to werewolves and vampires. |
| Brown shade, observed with very large quantities melanin in the body - in this case, the pigment absorbs almost all rays of light. This is why the eyes resemble small coals. Usually they see with black eyes the world around us representatives of the Negroid race. |

The rarity of green eyes
As noted earlier, such rarity is a legacy of the Middle Ages, when the Holy Inquisition was an extremely influential institution. As a result, green eyes were practically forced out of the European phenotype. And due to the fact that pigmentation is hereditary, the chance of green eyes has decreased many times over.
Note! Over time, of course, the situation has improved somewhat, but in its “pure” form, that is, the shade of green grass, eyes are still very rare. Transitional shades predominate - light green, for example, or brown-green.
It is also worth mentioning the uneven distribution of green color. There is even a theory according to which green eyes are directly related to the gene for red hair.
Characteristics of people with green eyes
Does eye color affect a person's character?
It is believed that green eyed people Most of them are suspicious and vulnerable. They may look calm, but in reality inside them there is a true hurricane of emotions and feelings. People with green eyes are not used to showing others their state of mind. At the same time, they good psychologists– they will always listen, reassure, and know how to keep secrets. Among green-eyed people there are many creative personalities - artists, painters, writers.
Does this affect your health?
A deficiency of the melanin pigment can cause various kinds eye pathologies and illness. In addition, problems may arise with the digestive or nervous system. Changes are often observed hormonal levels, provoked by insufficient production of melanocytes. Green-eyed people often change their mood, which others, as we have already found out, may not even be aware of.
ABOUT personal life people with emerald eyes
Such people feel their partners perfectly, sometimes even disappear into them, so to speak. They know how to love and care, they are ready to go through any difficulties and trials for the sake of a strong family, without expecting anything from their partner. similar actions. In a word, this good spouses, family men, and loving parents.
Friendship and green eyes
People with emerald eyes are always ready to help and support, even if they have to sacrifice something for this. They give more than they take, they rejoice for their friends with all their hearts. However, in friendship they are extremely demanding, they need to be treated the same way they treat others. That is why betrayal for such people is a terrible blow, which they will most likely never forgive. This means the friendship will end.
How many people on the planet have green eyes?
As we already mentioned at the beginning of the article, so rare coloring irises occur in only 2 percent of the world's population. This phenomenon is especially rare among residents of the Middle East, South America, Asia. As for the most “green-eyed” countries, these include Iceland (about 35 percent) and Turkey (up to 20 percent of the total population). In addition, green eyes can be found among residents of Scotland, Germany and other northern European countries.
Note! Among Russians, emerald eyes are very rare. Therefore, if you meet a green-eyed passerby somewhere, you can consider this a good omen.
A few words about heterochromia
Violation of eye color deserves special attention. For those who don’t know, heterochromia refers to the phenomenon when a person’s eyes different colors. This is described in more detail in our article about, and therefore we will keep it brief. According to statistics, this phenomenon It is even less common than “green eyes” (only in 1 percent of the world’s population). Note that people with eyes of different colors were also associated with evil, which is easily explained by a banal fear of everything inexplicable.
Important! Scientists are still debating which eye color is the rarest. Some people think so green tint, others talk about the existence of carriers of violet eyes.
