One of Currier's main points was, in addition to the above,  that he saw a full correlation between the application of different hands and different languages. This is why people may be inclined to connect the two.
However, I am not sure that this correlation has been demonstrated sufficiently.
It is clearly obvious (visually) in the alternation of Herbal-A vs. Herbal-B pages, but elsewhere it is not so much the case.

This is one of the things that particularly interests me (the possible correlation between hands and Voynichese dialects. I'd like to have some hard numbers associated with the letter forms and am developing a method that can be mathematically defended, so that any connection between the two can be studied more objectively.

I've made no subjective attempts so far to correlated hands and Currier languages and have not recorded any of the Currier designations (or even looked at them). I plan to use the numbers to get a sense of what's going on.
