jumps over the three lazy
dogs" contains every letter in
the English alphabet, there is
a sentence that contains every
phoneme in the English

A phoneme is any spoken sound

A phoneme is an atom of pronounced language. A grapheme is an atom of written language. For example, there's a phoneme called the "voiceless velar plosive" that initiates the English words "catch" and "king". It's IPA symbol is [k]. As a different example, there's a Latin-alphabetical grapheme called "c" that initiates the English words "chariot" and "ceiling". |
