Quote:Maybe the texts of Herbal-A and Herbal-B were taken from sources in two different dialects, or two very similar languages.  Like Northwest Lower West Bavarian and Southwest Lower West Bavarian...

The problem is that they don't have to be languages at all. They may be two different algorithms or heuristics of generating gibberish.

Or the same algorithm running with a different "seed" ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ) 

Personally I am still struggling with understanding statistical research of VM. These guys often claim that Voynichese behaves similarly to real languages. 
I wonder what kind of results do they have. Is it only PCA and finding clusters corresponding to quires and images or something more?

Because if it is only clusters then it doesn't prove similarity to real languages.
