I've seen many efforts to turn the VMS into Latin. It's the most common language mentioned in connection with the VMS—probably due to the glyph shapes and their arrangement being mostly Latin.
Some of these are reasonable attempts and I give credit to those who tried. There might even be an element of Latin in some part of the VMS but there's no convincing evidence.
The PL transcript is an omelette of raw eggs—slimy and cold. A few more hours of due-diligence would have revealed it wasn't ready to serve. The signal-to-noise ratio is about 1:50—it needs to be at least 1:4 to have any credibility.
Maybe the author should spend a few months studying Latin and then reconsider his claims.
