[Article] Orlov YN - Language recognition methods and Voynich Manuscript analysis

[ReneZ]

I write this without having read the article, but I have a significant doubt.

The approach of mixing two languages and removing vowels does not seem to be able to explain either the low entropy or the word structure. Entropy does not seem to have been looked at in the experiments....

Reducing entropy is possible, but this comes with rather significant changes at the character level, and I believe that these would invalidate the results of the test in the paper (but again with the same caveat).
