Translation please
I'm not sure what language it is, but I wonder whether someone here might be able to translate this for me:O sibili, si ergo, fortebus es inero.
O nobili em artrux. Fulae cous angese andux.
Or this one, which sounds a bit French:
Un petit d'un petit setonne au oualle
Un petit d'un petit ah! de gris folle
Alle dequins orsez en alle dequins mains
Qu'ou dent peut un petit te geter egains

Re: Translation please
Is the first one actually latin because if you say it right it comes out asO see Billy, See ‘er go!Forty buses in a row.O no, Billy, dem is trucks See what is in ‘em? Cows and’ Ducks!
Many many years ago at school we played around with pretend latin making up daft things like this. I think the one you are asking about is from over 50 years ago though when they taught latin more commonly and kids made all sorts up.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Re: Translation please
I did go on the free translations, but to me, its just a load of ……..First one.
Oh, to be hissed at, therefore, if, like you must be involved.

O see Billy, see 'er go, forty buses in a row.
O no Billy, 'em are trucks, full of cows and geese and ducks.
But I'm splitting hairs. There are many similar versions with minor variations.
I was once told this by a master at school over fifty years ago. Funny how I can remember things from so long ago, yet I couldn't remember why I went in the kitchen just now!

See above.
I hope some of you know, or can find some more like these.
