Georgian Pangrams
A pangram is a sentence constructed so that the words in it use every letter of the alphabet. Probably the best known pangram is The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, and there are many others for almost every language… except Georgian. Because the language has a unique writing system and there are not many type designers who work with it, the search for a Georgian pangram is quite a task. Nevertheless, I managed to find some interesting examples, which I verified with native Georgian speakers.

“Abgad Evzet Ikal Mano, Pazha Rasta Upka Ghagash, Chatsa Dzatsa Chakha Jaho”. This one is used in schools to help children memorize the letters of the Georgian alphabet. This phrase contain all of 33 characters and only 52 characters long, but the words are all made-up and have no meaning.แแแแแงแ แแแแ แแแแแแ, แฉแแขแแแก แแแฐแฅแแแแแ แแฆแฃแ แขแฃแแ แแแชแแจแ, แซแแแก แฃแคแ แแฎแแแก แญแแฅแแแแก แฏแแฎแฃแแ แแแฌแแแจแ1
“We were overcome by smoke, the birds were carried away by chirping in the sky, sleep is disturbed by the clatter of glasses on the ground”. 77 charactersแฉแแขแก แแแฐแฅแแแแ แแฆแฃแ แขแฃแแ แแแชแแจแ, แแแแ แแแแ แกแแแงแแ แก แซแแแก แฃแคแ แแฎแแแแ แญแแฅแแก แฏแแฎแฃแแ
“A bird flew up to the sky, the clinking of the glass scared the robed cripple from sleep”. Only 65 characters.
I would still like to double-check and make sure that these sentences are 100% accurate. And I hope there are more pangrams in Georgian, so I will keep finding them and updating this list.
I committed this one to Wikipedia page about pangrams ↩︎
