I disagree. Most medieval languages are relatively obscure. The number of people who know a lot about them is small. The number of people studying the Voynich manuscript is smaller. The chance that somebody working on the Voynich text today just so happens to have in-depth knowledge of the resulting language is unlikely. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be Greek or Latin, but I highly doubt it. (Even then, there was a recent Greek theory where the differences between three or more Greek languages was crucially important.)
