Mathematical Attempt to Remove Impact of Alphabet Differences

[Anton]

No idea about the math . It would be nice if somone could explain that.

Curious that Jaskiewicz' top5 matches are :
– Moldavian
– Karakalpak
– Kabardian Circassian
– Kannada
– Thai

and that dvallis gets a closest match to the Caucasian languages.

Kabardian Circassian is a Northwest Caucasian language closely related to the Adyghe language (wikipedia)

I'm not sure if all those matches are not purely formalistic. E.g. Moldavian (do they mean Romanian?) language is synthetic inflectional,  Kabardian is polysynthetic, Karakalpak is synthetic agglutinative. So what's the worth of these matches if they are not even linguistically homogenuos?

I guess for many Western readers these languages sound exotic, kinda "wow, a rare language, we must give it a chance", but for Russia they are not at all exotic, e.g. some 1.5m people speak Kabardian, and of those half a million live in Russia. So if I bring a person who speaks Kabardian, would he be able to read Voynichese, or what? What's the practical outcome?
