What language is this?

This was in a rubric for my online course. I was wondering if this an actual language, or just internet gibberish:

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."

Thanks!

    I think it's Latin being used as a placeholder.

    Well!!! A classical language, is a language with a literature that is classical— i.e., it should be ancient, it should be an independent tradition that arose mostly on its own, not as an offshoot of another tradition, and it must have a large and extremely rich body of ancient literature. How Tamil is classical? Claims regarding the "Primary Classicality of Tamil": 1. Lemurian origin 2. Phonological simplicity 3. Catholicity . 4. Tamulic substratum of the Aryan family of languages. 5. Morphological purity and primitiveness . 6. The presence of the words ‘amma’ and ‘appa’ in almost all great languages in some form or other. 7. Absence of Nominative case-termination . 8. Separability and significance of all affixes . 9. Absence of morphological gender 10. Absence of arbitrary words 11. Traceability of Tamil to its very origin. 12. Logical and natural order of words . 13. Absence of dual number . 14. Originality and natural development . 15. Highest order of the classicality . Classical Languages in India: 1. Tamil 2. Sanskrit 3. Kannada 4 . Telugu Classical Languages in the world (other than Indian): 1. Sumerian 2. Egyptian 3. Babylonian 4. Hebrew 5. Chinese 6. Greek 7. Latin * Though the first three languages exitsed along with all 7, only the latter 4 along with Tamil and Sanskrit are called as Worlds Classical languages

    It's Latin and it's the standard dummy text used in the printing industry since the beginning.

    It is Latin and is commonly used as kind of meaningless replacement text.
