Perhaps you have not tongue twisters in a narrow sense but just sentences
that are particularly difficult to pronounce, e.g. the following in my
natlang:
Der Papscht het z Spiez ds Bsteck z spät bstellt
/tr p:a:pSt hEt ts Spi@ts ts pStEqX ts Sp&:t pStEwt:/
the pope has in Spiez the cutlery too late ordered
'the pope has ordered the cutlery too late in Spiez'

It can even be affricatized for emphasis.
BTW, some Spanish dialects (Argentina at least) distinguish between
_hierba_ /je4Ba/ and _yerba_ /Ze4Ba/.
