A nursery rhyme is a traditional poem or song for young children in Britain. A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds (or the same sound) in two or more words, most often in the final syllables of lines in poems and songs. The word "rhyme" may also be used as a pars pro toto ("a part (taken) for the whole") to refer a short poem, such as a rhyming couplet or other brief rhyming poem such as nursery rhymes.
There are some unique rhyming schemes in Dravidian languages like Tamil. Specifically, the rhyme called etukai (anaphora) occurs on the second consonant of each line.
The other rhyme and related patterns are called monai (alliteration), toṭai (epiphora) and iraṭṭai kiḷavi (parallelism).
Some classical Tamil poetry forms, such as veṇpa, have rigid grammars for rhyme to the point that they could be expressed as a context-free grammar.
