This has come up before... A Jarda example: völ nôsjkhronen ðôr'ra tuz zêb cwe gholhzjarku nò yuf zese rrün spê zùg jor de þir'rem "seven hundred quick wild wasps protect the expensive rose-colored crystal in the basket next to the east staircase at the library" http://archives.conlang.info/vae/khaelbha/khirfhoezhoen.html Or you could translate "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" into your language, as I've done in Minza.
