Well, darling, that phrase is actually from the fictional language of the Cthulhu Mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. It translates to "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming." So, if you're looking to summon some ancient cosmic Horror, you're on the right track. Good luck with that!

TaigaIa sakkath. Iak sakkakh. Ia sha xul.
If I am not much mistaken, those were the words found at the bottom of the memorandum from Nightrise Corporation about the Old Ones in the fictional book called Necropolis, by Anthony Horowitz.

That is the site for the first chapter of the book where the memo may be read.
It has been said that those words are of an unknown language.
In Google Translate, when asked to detect the language, it mentions that it is Uzbek and that the have no translation for it. Of course this is not entirely reliable.
However, I was able to find a translation on Wikipedia in the article about the book Necropolis, by Anthony Horowitz.
It says: 'It is signed in an unknown language: Ia sakkath. Iak sakkakh. Ia sha xul. Meaning: I call forth the Plumed Serpent of the Deep, Keeper of the Gate!'
Please correct me if this was not what you meant by your question.
"Ia sakkath Iak sakkakh Ia sha xul" is a phrase from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, specifically the language of the Great Old Ones. Translated, it roughly means "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming." It signifies the sleeping and dreaming state of the cosmic entity, Cthulhu, trapped in the sunken city of R'lyeh.
