# FAMILY RHYME

A rhyme that is based on the principle that **consonants** can be **grouped into clusters** that exhibit a strong enough resemblance in sound to belong to the same family. Family rhymes are in essence[ perfect rhymes](/rhyme-type-reference-1/rhyme-type-reference-overview/perfect-rhyme.md) that freely interchange the consonants that belong to the same family namely **plosives** (b/d/g/p/t/k), **fricatives** (v/z/zh/j/f/th/s/sh/ch) and **nasals** (m/n/ng).

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is very popular in modern music since it can create a stronger agreement in sound than the last syllable rhyme, yet still allows fresh alternatives to otherwise overused perfect rhymes.
