Quote:Well, great, so your assertion that the pattern is not language like is based on nothing?
With "Therefore you can't use this text to determine if some of this texts are language like or not." I mean that there is a difference if you search a feature typical for languages in the VMS or if you search for a feature typical for the VMS in languages. My test shows that the compared texts in Latin, English, German and Arabic are not like the text of the VMS. This way I have compared a feature typical for the VMS. In my eyes this is more then nothing.
Your tests also showed that Arabic is not like German, German not like Latin, and Latin not like Arabic. Yet all of those are natural languages. You have not shown that there is a language-like co-occurrence pattern which all natural languages fit and the Voynich text does not. Until you do this nobody can possibly judge whether such patterns are language-like or not.
All you can possible say, at the very most, is that the Voynich manuscript is not written in Arabic, English, Latin, or German. At most.
