Alisa Gladyseva: Voynich manuscript is decoded

[geoffreycaveney]

On my trip to Hungary, years ago, I was told the pronunciation for Šopron was "sho-pron", so that must be similar to what you are describing for Gladyseva.

Be careful with Hungarian, JKP! Unlike almost all other languages of the region, in Hungarian orthographic "s" is pronounced like English "sh", while it is Hungarian orthographic "sz" that is pronounced like a plain English "s". Very confusing, and the exact opposite of Polish, for example! Of course Hungarian is a Uralic language rather than a Slavic or other Indo-European language.
