It is Latin and is used as standard placeholder text to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout.. The text is derived from Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum (On the Ends of Goods and Evils, or alternatively [About] The Purposes of Good and Evil ).[1] The original passage began: Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit (Translation: "Neither is there anyone who loves grief itself since it is grief and thus wants to obtain it").

It's Latin, used as a placeholder by typographers and printers, derived from Cicero's "De finibus bonorum et malorum" ("On the Ends of Goods and Evils"). The full phrase is :

"Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem, quia voluptas sit, aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos, qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt, neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit, amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt, ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem."

The end of the phrase translates to :

"Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure."

That's Latin and I don't know what it means, but that text is used by graphic designers when they're laying out publications, just to see how the text will look on a page once it's written. It's referred to as "greek text" or "greeking".
