===Non-alphabetic scripts=== Logographic scripts, or writing systems such as Chinese that do not use an alphabet but are composed principally of [[logogram]]s, cannot produce pangrams in a literal sense (or at least, not pangrams of reasonable size). The total number of signs is large and imprecisely defined, so producing a text with every possible sign is practically impossible. However, various analogies to pangrams are feasible, including traditional pangrams in a [[romanization]]. In [[Japanese language|Japanese]], although typical orthography uses [[kanji]] (logograms), pangrams can be made using every [[kana]], or [[syllabary|syllabic]] character. The [[Iroha]] is a classic example of a perfect pangram in non-Latin script. In Chinese, the [[Thousand Character Classic]] is a 1000-character poem in which each character is used exactly once; however, it does not include all [[Chinese characters]]. The single character {{lang|zh|[[wikt:永|永]]}} (permanence) incorporates all the basic strokes used to write Chinese characters, using each stroke exactly once, as described in the [[Eight Principles of Yong]]. Among [[abugida]] scripts, an example of a perfect pangram is the ''Hanacaraka (hana caraka; data sawala; padha jayanya; maga bathanga)'' of the [[Javanese script#Order|Javanese script]], which is used to write the [[Javanese language]] in [[Indonesia]]. ;Bengali: {{lang|bn|ঊনিশে কার্তিক রাত্র সাড়ে আট ঘটিকায় ভৈরবনিবাসী ব্যাংকের ক্ষুদ্র ঋণগ্রস্ত অভাবী দুঃস্থ পৌঢ় কৃষক এজাজ মিঞা হাতের কাছে ঔষধ থাকিতেও ঐ ঋণের ডরেই চোখে ঝাপসা দেখিয়া বুকের যন্ত্রণায় ঈষৎ কাঁপিয়া উঠিয়া উঠানে বিছানো ধূসর রঙের ফরাশের উপর ঢলিয়া পড়িলেন।}}<br/>All 50 letters of the [[Bengali alphabet]] are present in this pangram created by Sahidul and published in ''Shubach Little Mag''. ;Korean: {{lang|ko|다람쥐 헌 쳇바퀴에 타고파.}}<br/>Microsoft Windows uses this phrase to test Korean fonts, which uses all of the basic [[Hangul]] consonants but not all of the vowels. : {{lang|ko|키스의 고유 조건은 입술끼리 만나야 하고 특별한 기술은 필요치 않다.}}<br/>{{lang|ko|정 참판 양반댁 규수 큰 교자 타고 혼례 치른 날.}}<br/>These two example pangrams each use all 24 basic letters. ;Sanskrit: ''{{lang|sa|घटाश्च शङ्खाश्च धरन्ति तोयम् । <Br> शठादिमूढा न भजन्ति सत्यम् । <Br> वराहयूथानि किलन्ति पुच्छैः । <Br> गडेषु झञ्झाः सबलं फणन्ते ॥}}'' <br> (''Earthen pots and conches hold water. Stupid imposters don’t serve the truth. Herds of pigs play with their tails. Stormy winds blow gutsily through the fences.'') <br> Sanskrit pangrams focus on consonants alone, since, [[Sandhi]] rules make it extremely difficult to create a pangram showing vowels distinctly. The above one has been composed by Saurabh B, in the [[Sanskrit prosody|उपेन्द्रवज्रा (Upēndravajrā)]] meter and contains all consonants of [[Classical Sanskrit]].
