english phonetic pangram/panphone for ipa showcase

Replace the poor "linguistics" section by the last example from
<http://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-text-that-covers-the-entire-English-phonetic-range>
which covers most English phonemes including more rare distinctions
(m/ɱ, x, l/ɫ, w/ʍ).

Manually transcribed in an attempt to cover most sounds naturally, using a
mostly Irish/generic pronunciation (I'm not native though).  Compare
<https://en.wikipedia.org?oldid=673810019> for an overview of regional
differences.  Alternate IPA transcriptions in native dialects found at
<https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments/2quvnf/make_a_dialect_of_english/>
but not used due to more limited inventories.
