Can VM be written in vowelless Latin?

[nablator]

I am grateful for this conversation. I now have a simple tool based on Rene's idea that I can run to evaluate any solution claiming to be based on Latin. I guess it could come handy in the future.

This list of 10000 Latin words contains some accentuated versions of common words and some Greek words (in UTF-8). No big deal, can be fixed quickly.

Instead of averaging the positions in the word list, you might want to compute an upper bound of the probability of presence of the words together in the text being tested, simply by multiplying the probabilities of the words (or adding the logarithms), assuming the corpus is big and diverse enough to give a good estimation of the probability of presence of words in a generic Latin text.

Then, finally, a measure of how well the histogram (of letters and bi- or trigrams) compares to the corpus could be useful, to take into account a possibly abnormal bias, like missing or over-represented letters/bigrams/trigrams. For example, a text containing only the word "et" should not get a high probability.
