There's this old house in my hometown. I often take a peek through the window: I can see
the fireplace, and above the mantel there is an inscription saying:
TOSTED OCH' AN TAN.
I've seen those words for years, every time I walk around there, wondering what language
that could be, and what it means.
The place is in Southern Belgium, Wallonia, a French and Walloon-speaking area.
However, this is definitely not a romance language. Looks Celtic, or Scandinavian.
Does anybody have an idea? Warning: this is a real question, I don't have the answer.

I'll take a chance and guess from the script that it's Amharic.
(if not then maybe Tigre or Tigrinya?)
Here's mine:
יִכְדַמְן אַיְיִנַגָא יפּרעו גְמַצָר. יִשוֹפִגַג רבי נּג דְיְנָג שוֹפוֹש נִדְרע שוֹפוֹש יִכיווֹאַנ
ixəddamn ay n-ga i pərʿu g° maṣər. i-ss-ufġ aġ əṛbbi ənnəġ dinnaġ s ufus ən ddrʿ, s ufus ikuwan.
Translation: Servants of Pharaoh is what we were in Egypt. Our God brought us out thence with a mighty arm,
with a strong arm.
no googling :)

Looks like Polish as far as I'm aware.

Meadow Mari.
I'm repeating morinkhuur's question, because that transliteration looks nothing like Hebrew:
יִכְדַמְן אַיְיִנַגָא יפּרעו גְמַצָר. יִשוֹפִגַג רבי נּג דְיְנָג שוֹפוֹש נִדְרע שוֹפוֹש יִכיווֹאַנ
