Talk:Pangram

Polish pangram
The best Polish (PL) pangram is: Pójdźże, kiń tę chmurność w głąb flaszy!

It has every letter from the Polish alphabet and each letter occurs only once

Hungarian pangram
The Hungarian one only gives you all accented characters, but only uses those accented vowels: árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép (flood-enduring mirror drilling machine). Not a true pangram, but since ő and ű are not well-liked by fonts, this is a good stress test for them.

"Only the fool would take trouble to verify that his sentence was composed of ten a's, three b's, four c's, four d's, forty-six e's, sixteen f's, four g's, thirteen h's, fifteen i's, two k's, nine l's, four m's, twenty-five n's, twenty-four o's, five p's, sixteen r's, forty-one s's, thirty-seven t's, ten u's, eight v's, eight w's, four x's, eleven y's, twenty-seven commas, twenty-three apostrophes, seven hyphens and, last but not least, a single !"

Original research in a paragraph
I have added that a paragraph about a very long Wikipedia title being a pangram could be original research, as it is only cited to an on-site database dump, and is not mentioned on the title's article itself. Xeroctic (talk) 19:23, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

The translation for the perfect english pangram is wrong (at least, it is very context specific)
There is nothing in the sentence to say that the glyphs are petrographic (they could very well be about the cwm fjord bank, or be written on parchment, wood, or any other material - change the preposition in my sentence to fit). The sentence is not about a quiz (as in, a test) about the cwm fjord bank (who says it's on archeology, even), nor is the correct usage of "vext" to challenge validity. Also, the elaboration still uses most of the unfamiliar words of the sentence (Nordic fjord means nothing if you do not know what a fjord is, and cwm is just raw.)

I've changed it to something that actually makes sense: "the symbols in the bowl-like depression on the edge of a long steep sea inlet confuse an eccentric person". 142.109.127.38 (talk) 00:36, 28 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Which word is the eccentric person? I don't see it. And what do you think "quiz" means? - DavidWBrooks (talk) 01:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That's your answer; quiz is an archaic term for an eccentric person. Belbury (talk) 09:01, 28 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Aha - let's explain it in the article. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 22:48, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
