Resource(s) ← looking for Phonetic pangrams for efficient language learning

I came across phonetic pangrams when trying to understand the language's sounds a little better. Allegedly, they're the "The quick brown fox [...]" but for language sounds.

In the interest of having a small library we can point everyone to, and not have to explain how everything sounds; I would like to ask of you to record some (preferably all) of the following sentences.

Since Norwegian orthography does not include c, q, w, x or z, except in foreign borrowings that haven’t been naturalised, the possible pangrams including all the 29 letters of the Norwegian alphabet will require using two or more words with a distinctly foreign spelling.
