A pangram, or holoalphabetic sentence, is a sentence that contains every letter of the alphabet at least once. The most famous pangram is probably the thirtyfive letter-long "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," which has been used to test typing equipment since at least the late.
Pangrams are an important tool for testing typing equipment and compactly showing off every letter of a typeface; trying to pack every letter into as short a sentence as possible is also a sort of sport among linguists and puzzle-solver.
 
 "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow": Used by Adobe InDesign to display font samples.
Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.
The most well-known pangram in English may be "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog."
 
Some more examples off the top of my head are... Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs, Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz, and Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
 
Pangrams are also possible in other languages. This is a paragraph that uses every single letter in the alphabet. Now, that doesn't mean this can be a paragraph with no story, but it does mean that every single letter is used. You can make it as generic or fanciful as you'd like. You can talk about anything from quilts to jets to xylophones. Oh yeah, and you can use whatever language you want, from Afrikaans to Zulu. Is it okay?
