Tautograph
A tautogram (from the Greek ταὐτό tautó = contracted from τό αὐτό tó autó 'the same') is a text in which all words begin with the same letter. The tautogram is a special form of alliteration . Tautograms are differently difficult in different languages. German is rather unsuitable, other languages such as B. Latin , have accumulations of certain letters at the beginning of the word - here it is much easier to form tautograms. Many examples have come down to us from Latin, the first from the 3rd century BC. Chr.
