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.
