What sentence contains every Just like "The quick brown fox
jumps over the three lazy
dogs" contains every letter in
the English alphabet, there is
a sentence that contains every
phoneme in the English
language. Bell Labs used to
use it to test line quality.
What is it?
A phoneme is any spoken sound
by the way... like, the words
"weather" and "please" both
have "ea" in them, but it's
two different phonemes.

Which phoneme varies most in I have to answer this question

exam. There's also another

The first question sounds rather anecdotal, in the sense that the answer was most likely provided during instruction. But I'd say R. For the second part, look it up in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I PA_chart_for_English_dialects |

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". |
