Calgary engineer believes he's cracked the mysterious Voynich Manuscript

[Ahmet Ardıç]

I lived in Azerbaijan for 25 years and did business there. Also my wife is Azerbaijani. One part of our family members live there and I try to go to Baku city at least once a year. Of course, I also work with Azerbaijani linguists during my trip.

That's what I figured.

Professor Dr. Firudin Celilov approved our work. But there are other linguists who confirm that the VM manuscript is written in Turkish. Some of them have repeated this fact verbally in some Turkish TV newsletters. Such as You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

You don't have a link to a version with English subtitles by any chance? Until then (at the very earliest), I have only your word that the guys in the clip you linked are qualified to assess your solution.

But many linguists never look at the files we send them. I think they throw the files into the trash without opening them.
Many people do not even know that this VM book exists.

The VMs is definitely not a subject nearly all linguists (or any other type of scholar or expert) would take an interest in, so that's not too surprising. Good thing then, as you mentioned, "there are other linguists who confirm that the VM manuscript is written in Turkish." Have you noticed any patterns in which linguists are receptive to your theory, and which are not? What do the academics who entertain your idea have in common? And what do the ones who ignore or dismiss your idea tend to have in common?

Hi,

One of these people Dr. and Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean (expert in coding issues), other person Asst. Prof. Dr. and Faculty of Arts and Sciences Department of Turkish Language and Literature Head of Department. And Prof. Dr. Celilov is a well-known linguist in his work. He did many alphabet transcription studies. There were other experts, and these are from different universities. 

So, all of them have studies in the field of linguistics. Professor Celilov was retired. But he is still writing his new books. He read that many Etruscan inscriptions. He has written almost forty books about his working area. He was the former education minister of Azerbaijan Republic. Moreover, he gave us a reference in writing. 

Over time, we will share more information on our website and in our books. 

Other experts verbally approved yet, but we never ask any reference letter too. Because it is not logical to ask for a reference letter for a study that mathematics itself has approved. Of course, awareness will increase over time. Moreover, we are not in a hurry in any matter. I can say that we are moving slowly but confidently. 

Linguists mostly looked at the sound and sentence structures. None of the linguists I have presented our study have said that VMS is not in Turkish. But on the contrary, they said that VMS is in Turkish.

However, there were linguists on whom we could not reach consensus on the meaning of some words about 600 years ago. However, they disagree among themselves about the meaning content of some words about 600 years ago. I am sure that the details we have written about this will be approved in time. Anyway, such gray areas are very few in number.

A linguist did not agree with our view of the VMS author on dialectics. He suggested that this issue should be explored with different aspects, and only then the dialect will be known after more work he said.

So basically no one refused our main opinion. But there was also no return from many more academics that I sent files by post and e-mail. For this reason, I think that they probably don't read. But I must say that, I will strongly criticize those who do not open the file I sent.

Best regards,

Ahmet Ardıç
