Latin term or phrase: ovime-tan vocem-meam-a
I found this text on a bell that appears to be used on a entrance or store front. I have no idea what the language is. I had thought it was Latin but it does not translate.

Who touches me will hear my voice
Explanation:
The text is incomplete and mispelled. It should be:
\"Vocem meam audit qui me tangit\", i.e.
\"who touches me will hear my voice\".
Vocem meam: my voice
audit: hears
qui: who
me tangit: touches me

Unfortuantely, I don't know the true translation but the answer you offered sounds like it is the best based on what I have and where it is used.
Thanks.

Hear My Voice (?)


Explanation:
"Ovime-tan" is not understandable and does not exist in Latin. The last "a" means nothing either.
Are you sure the sentence was not
"Audite vocem meam"?

agree  Carol-Chrissy: If vocem-mean =My voice, Audit=hears, Qui=who and me tangit=touches me. Should it not be My voice hears who touches me?
