Heraldic Glossary - Part 27 : Mottoes
Mottoes, probably deriving from war cries, express pious hopes or sentiments and usually appear on a scroll beneath the shield. They can use any language (most often Latin) and tinctures can be independent of the arms.
In some countries (f.e. the United Kingdom) mottoes are not part of the blazon and can be changed by the bearer. In other countries they are part of the grant and thus of the blazon and can not be changed.
