[lojban] Re: The Voynich manuscript. A new study. Written in Lojban?



Many hypotheses. Many opinions. But are they more credible that this April's joke? Most of them are not.

Indeed, the conclusions from the analysis of images in this article is not groundless. The same can be said about low entropy. If all of us know that this can't lead to a usual letter-phoneme correspondence then why do new hypotheses try to make such plain replacements over and over again?

When I saw two last articles (Nahuatl and Arabic hypotheses) I decided to write my own.
Apart from Lojban and time travels dragged into the article the rest is not a joke.
----------------------------
Back to the funny part. Lojbanic community partially believed the joke.
Here are some opinions:
>> Well, obviously that means Lojban takes over the world so they send people to past to teach it. Hooray for us for being the pioneers lol. Maybe we can get a finished reference grammar of Lojban from them.

Another opinion:
>>It's just a way to tell us, Lojbanists, go ahead, you initiative will work. But without breaking the time-space continuum.

I agree that's a pretty damn convincing explanation.

The researchers from the University of Laguna Verde are reporting that they have made a new breakthrough in deciphering The Voynich Manuscript.

The study pointed out the fact that the language of the manuscript couldn't be a normal human language due to the clearly seen low entropy of the text.

The article hasn't been published yet but the authors kindly provided me with the draft of their paper that very soon will be published in Laguna Verde University proceedings.

This might sound strange but they came to conclusion that the manuscript was written in a variation of the logical language Lojban.

Several words from the manuscript have been translated after a laborious digitalizing of the manuscript and careful analysis of the pictures, history of Mediaeval Italy and advances in modern logical science.
