Google defines "language" as:
1. the method of human communication, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way.
2. a system of communication
What type of language are you looking 4r?
Proving that the VMS represents a language is the wrong question/starting point.
One reason for example is simply because all possible languages have been checked with it.
I think the VMS is not a natural spoken language. That is, not a phonetically language or a language that can be pronounced in any way.
The text in the VMS seems to be constructed around a system.
If we could translate that system into human communication, we can say that it is a language. However, writing the rules of that system and publication of it, would be currently enough to explain the VMS in a scientific way. From that starting point the transition towards a language could perhaps be made.
Asking to show that the VMS is a language, would be the same as asking to show why the VMS holds a recipe for soap.
This manuscript has become the "search for the philosophers stone" of the current era. Therefore the problem is, by publication of that system on the VMS you also throw away any academic credibility that you might have build. A good work around that problem could be in making the brand of the VMS a bit better, taking action to promote it in a positive way and presenting the problem in a more professional way.
