Is there such a thing as a “pangram for phonemes”?
English has a lot of pangrams which are short sentences that use every letter of the alphabet at least once. . This website has several examples. I know there’s a computer program designed to use (almost) every phoneme of English language. But can there be a similar thing that is designed to use (almost) every phoneme of the English language?
What uses all the phonemes and sentence? What is it called?
What’s the best mnemonic?
- “We will aim them at some high, far bow–joy long told–full soon. “Sash–choke!”
- Puff thought (Cue.) What are you saying about my life? Woman
- Lawyers ”
First contains all the vowel phonemes of the dialect of English my father spoke, while the second contains all the voiceless consonants of that same dialect. With each of the consonants in the second mnemonic has a voiced counterpart (b, v, edth , d, z, zh, j, g), each except the last can be usefully paired with the glottal stop as its “voiced” counterpart. In the third mnemonic (w, m, n, l, y, r, ng), all consonants play except the last consonant. The third mnemonic (see fig. I) provides some examples.
Note also that in all three mnemonics the exemplified phonemes appear in order–from front to back–with regard to their place of articulation.

There’s a sentence which was used by British singers and contains all the British English vowels.
I have no idea who will know of aught of art will then take his ease.
Some people might object That take and know are diphthongs, and this sentence doesn’t include the other diphthongs bough, buy boy, boy. Are singers supposed to make the vowels of take and know monophthongs?
