Register or Login to view.I don't think VMS is written Classical Latin or classical Medieval Latin, and there is no need to kick at open door and compare them directly. Rather VMS is written in some form which mixes traits of Medieval, Vulgar and spoken Latin with artificial endings invented by the author.
Thank you farmerjohn, I see your point. You understand your fake-Latin cannot stand a comparison with true Latin or Romance languages. Your only choice is discarding your theory or discarding the evidence of the entire tradition of the Latin language and all its descendants, and you are happy with the second option.

Appropriate enough: once you decide your results cannot be directly compared with actual evidence, you are left with pure flatus vocis - "quack quack quack", if you prefer.
My actual position is actually never mix problems and terminology
While mapping Voynichese to any real language is failing at the moment, is absolutely eligible to to try another approach and relax some conditions for example.
I respect you and Rene and many others greatly, but to solve well-known problem and to satisfy you are slightly different tasks, although they have a lot in common.
As for terminology, that's the worst matter for dispute. If some language has roots and suffixes from Latin, pronunciation from Latin then I believe it's acceptable to use word "Latin" when naming this animal. Other may have different opinions. That's absolutely ok.
