| Latin-based nonsense | Jan 19, 2003 |
I have also come across such gibberish several times. Manufacturers of certain text-related applications or devices often use such nonsense \"language\" to fill up a space where normally there should be a normal text.
The methodology is rather \"dada\", i.e. picking words at random and placing them one after the other.

Of course, I am not familiar with this language, but I did work in Shell (Exploration) and we had a number of dutch engineers.
However, there are some languages out there that seem to be gibberish, but are in fact languages, for example the Papiamento (Aruba and Curazao, in the Caribbean). These islands were under French, Spanish, Portuguese, English and Dutch dominion, and their national language is somewhat a mixture of all these languages. Just have a look at this page...

Probably this does not answer your question, but I am sure you will find it interesting.

| The other Latin nonsensical text? | Jan 19, 2003 |
Perhaps it related to that other Latin nonsense text originated in the Middle Ages that is still used today for testing fonts.

\'fake Latin\' is indeed often used as a temporary placeholder awaiting final text, but also in illustrations that should look like text, although the text detail will be to small to distinguish anyway (plus since it is not language specific, it can be used for editions in various languages).
However, I always come across the same \'fake latin\' text:
«Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna al...

The variant you quoted here is new to me...

| "lorem ipsum" is not a fake latin text | Jan 19, 2003 |
The original was \".. dolorem ipsum ..\" and was a latin text with many errors and some dialect in it, so it could not be understood by normal latin translators.
It was copied since centuries and the errors accumulated, because it was meant to be not understandable.
It should not be understandable because the reader should concentrate on the sample layout and font and not waste his time reading an irrelevant text.

It\'s most likely an early form of double Dutch.
