The incompatibility of Voynichese with natural human language
#14
A "black swan" I'd like to see is a long text with an average 3% rate of Reduplication+QuasiReduplication. If such a bird exists, it likely is some Eastern language. It could be written in a non-alphabetic script, so it is not easily spotted by a character-by-character computational analysis. For instance, Rene pointed out that Thai has a special "reduplication-character" which is used instead of actual repeated words: in order to compare such a script with the hypothesis that Voynichese is phonetic, one should first convert the Eastern script into a phonetic system (e.g. IPA).
