What language is ab irato origine ob ovo usque ad mala uno disce omnes urbe condita utili?

The phrase "ab irato origine ob ovo usque ad mala uno disce omnes urbe condita utili" is in Latin.

Let's break it down:

* ab irato origine: "from the angry origin" (referring to the anger of Romulus and Remus's grandfather, Numitor)

* ob ovo usque ad mala: "from the egg to the apples" (referring to the beginning and end of a traditional Roman meal)

* uno disce omnes: "learn all from one" (meaning learn all of Roman history from one source)

* urbe condita utili: "from the founding of the city [Rome] useful"

This phrase is a playful and memorable way to summarize the "Ab Urbe Condita" (From the Founding of the City), a monumental historical work by the Roman historian Livy. It essentially means: "From the angry origins of Rome, to the end of a Roman feast, learn all of Roman history in one useful book."
