The Quick Brown Fox

The "I can eat glass" sentences do not necessarily show off the orthography of each language to best advantage. In many alphabetic written languages it is possible to include all (or most) letters (or "special" characters) in a single (often nonsense) pangram. These were traditionally used in typewriter instruction; now they are useful for stress-testing computer fonts and keyboard input methods. Here are a few examples (SEND MORE):

  1. English: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
  2. Jamaican: Chruu, a kwik di kwik brong fox a jomp huova di liezi daag de, yu no siit?
  3. Irish: "An ?fuil do ?roí ag buala? ó ?aitíos an ?rá a ?eall lena ?óg éada ó ?lí do leasa ?ú?" "D'?uascail Íosa Úr?ac na hÓi?e Beannai?e pór Éava agus Á?ai?."
