Mathematical Attempt to Remove Impact of Alphabet Differences

[Anton]

The main drawback of Jaskiewicz's paper (which I just ventured to look through) seems to me not mathematical, but methodological. He says (p. 251):

The research involving linguistic studies often compare an unknown language to the well-known language by its structure and syntax.

But then he proceeds to do something quite opposite, namely compare languages to Voynichese by frequency distribution, seeking meaningful linguistic conclusions from such kind of comparison - noting, a propos, that

sometimes completely different languages are similar in measure

(p 257)

That he uses modern texts instead of XVc texts is a flaw of lesser importance.
