類韻(英語:Assonance)是西方詩歌里的一種押韻形式,意思是一行韻文或一首裏頭有元音韻的重複。

因為在西方語言的單字大多數有韻尾,若押韻要連帶韻尾一起難易度極高,所以有類韻方式,不在乎輔音韻尾只要元音相同即可,甚至也有無視元音韻尾。這類在現代中文歌曲也有相同狀況,如i、in、ing或o、ou、ong等狀況。

示例

  • Dead in the middle of little Italy, little did we know that we riddled two middle men who didn't do diddily.
  • on a proud round cloud in a white high night
