some description i give here 
This groundbreaking research proposes a novel decoding of the Voynich Manuscript using African-rooted linguistic models, with comparative analysis drawn from Nilotic, Berber, and West African languages. The paper constructs a plausible phonetic grammar, vocabulary, and morphological syntax based on visual glyph comparisons and contextual semantics from key folios (e.g., f1r, f26r, f34v).
The authors integrate:
  • Cross-cultural glyph analysis with Tifinagh, Ge'ez, and Ajami scripts
  • Botanical and zodiacal references for semantic grounding
  • Translation of a full ritual from a zodiac folio (f72v2)
  • Paragraph-level translations of several pages
  • A full glossary, grammar rules, and semantic map of repeated glyphs
The paper challenges Eurocentric assumptions about authorship and origin, proposing instead a highly plausible North or West African scholar (possibly Tuareg or Moorish) trained in medicinal botany and astronomy as the original author.
A new decoding method is introduced that fuses phonetic patterns, grammatical consistency, herbal-zodiac semantics, and African linguistic parallels. The Appendix provides a standalone linguistic model (Appendix A) and an extended glossary to support independent verification and further research
