Thank you for this question.
VMS is written in a mixed alphabets and Tamga letter signs which are mixture of Latin alphabet characters (mostly), Runic characters of ancient Turkish writings, Turkish-Tamga signs, and the sound value of the numbers (included 4 and 7). The Voynich alphabet consists of 24 basic single letters and 90+ combined letters.
In VMS alphabet; The single letters could be combined to form a joint character that would share both of the other letters’ phonetic values. Combined characters can be referred to as syllable characters.
The phonetic values derived in the alphabet, account for dialects of Turkic such as Azerbaijani Turkish, Anatolian Turkish, and Uzbek Turkish. If there is more than one definition in our Latin alphabet transcription, it needs to be considered that we provided some dialects known today. This translation study is still in progress and these multiple Latin transcriptions (original VM alphabet character’s phonetic equivalents) needs to be reduced during the translations. Thus, we can reach a certain result and finalize the VM alphabet.
This is related to the method we follow in transcription sound mapping, and we chose this method because we did not know the author's dialect.
We are not considering an update on the basic alphabet characters because that currently they have taken their final form. In other words, updates will be made based on the reading progress in the near future. And the sound-equivalents in the lists will be reduced in number. Because of the synonyms of words, and sound value difference in some dialects was count most of that sound-equivalents will be removed from that lists. Thus, we will present a more simple and clear list in the near future. However, we will have read more words and sentences in this whole process.
