Now, I would like to quickly and briefly summarize some of the details that I have mentioned in my previous comments and with the evidence I have shared. My purpose in this summary is to point out the clear overlaps between VM texts and Turkish.
Some of The Evidences Are;
1-) There were cases where both did not contain words ending with “/b/, /c/, /d/, /g/”. (Please refer to the phonetic values of the letters according to the ATA transcription in order not to confuse the information given here. Do not confuse with the EVA system variations.)
2-) Likewise, words starting with the letters “/f/, /h/, /j/, /l/, /m/, /n/, /r/, /v/, /z/, /ğ/” (with a few exceptions) does not appear in both in Turkish and in VM texts. (There is a complete words-structure overlap between the Turkish language and the VM texts.)
There are some well-known (few) exceptions to the rule we talked about in item 1 and 2. For example, words borrowed from other languages such as Arabic and Persian are present in both (as in VM texts and Turkish).
All these have been reflected in the VM in parallel with the Turkish language vocabulary formation.
3-) There is a complete overlap in word repetitions written side by side, and a 1/1 similar situation is not seen in Indo-European languages. A similar situation is seen in the Korean language and the same structure in the Japanese language. According to many linguists, the Korean and Japanese languages are languages that have diverged from the Turkish language and the common root. However, similar frequency quartet and quintuple repetitions overlaps have not been recorded in Japanese and Korean but only they can be seen in the old (VM) texts and today's & Old Turkish texts, indicating that the words have quartet and quintuple repetitions in these languages. Therefore, this feature is an overlap that can be seen between VM and only the Turkish language.
For example, it is known that there are examples of word-doubling, triad, quatrain, and quintuple word repetition in the manuscript titled “Kutadgu Bilig” written by Yusuf Has Hâcib in the eleventh century. It can be found in all known periods of the written Turkish language. (The Academic Source: Aksan 2000 / Doğan Aksan, "En Eski Türkçenin İzlerinde")
In other words, this situation cannot be seen in the same structure, frequency and diversity in Arabic, Persian, Jewish, Chinese languages as well as in Indo-European languages etc.
4-) Visual overlapping of word roots & word suffixes. Some mistook root words as prefixes. If it were, the same prefixes would not be written separately and sometimes adjacent to the word in front of them. In other words, it was expected to be written always adjacent or always separately. When these are root words, they can sometimes be written together and sometimes separate as a root word.
Moreover, you cannot find the numerical variety of words starting with the same root word in Indo-European languages. Evidence seekers can compare VM words that begin with the syllable OY- (AY). The number and variety of words starting with the syllable AY in VM texts only coincide with Turkish. The same is true for other word roots. If you want, get Indo-European dictionaries and start counting the number of words starting with the syllable AY- and see the result.
The overlaps we tried to explain with items 1, 2, 3, amd 4 above are structural overlaps. All of these structural overlaps have been identified between Turkish language and VM texts. A similar improvement could not be achieved between VM texts with any other language.
But the overlaps are not limited to these. So let's keep writing the rest
5-) Due to the fact that many open questions have been answered, our thesis has illuminated the unknowns about VM, including all the gray areas above them.
For example;
A-) The fact that the content of the images evokes Europe has misled the researchers. For example, there are cases where the drawing details such as naked women drawn, bathing pools (there are thermal spas like in Italy, etc.), some specific drawings of castle bastions and women's clothing etc. are associated with the Middle Ages European culture. We understood from our readings that the author is a traveler in Europe. She had completed this manuscript (over many years) while she was traveling part of Europe, including Istanbul (then Constantinople).
It was also a fundamental mistake to associate most drawings with only European culture and geography. Because at that time and today, Turkish baths and spas are famous. In fact, the most thermal pools in Europe are in Anatolia.
In addition, it was a very risky situation to travel like a traveler in Europe at that time writing a manuscript with the same content as like VM pages. Because you could be accused of witchcraft and burned alive. At that time, Europeans had become quite bigoted and fundamentalist because of church pressure. The same risk was not in question in Turkish-dominated lands. Moreover, obscene drawings in public in Europe were just as risky unless they had a special order for the church. We are not saying that they were never done. Some exceptions are already known. Nude women's drawings were also made in Europe, but it is absurd to think that they were not made in the Ottoman Empire. It is already known that the old manuscripts, which contain many obscene drawings, are from the Ottoman period. The situation is not very different in women's clothing. In the Ottoman palace, there were concubines brought from all over Europe.
Ottoman women, especially in the harem/palace, mostly freely chose the clothes suitable for them, and they spent enough time in the harem baths and pools. Therefore, we cannot see a feature in VM drawings that can be attributed to Europe but that we can say that it does not exist in Turkish culture. Moreover, attaching special meanings to drawings is based on second-degree personal interpretations. They can never be first-order evidence comparable to net-readings.
B-) The claim that the work was written with a near-perfect handwriting for 240 pages without any deformation such as writing-erasing or scraping, and this is considered surprising. However, we understand from a reading that as the author writes certain pages, she sends copies of them to a certain place with the help of postmen when she finds the opportunity. For this reason, looking at the first copy, it is possible that the second copy is written with less errors and in a more regular and neat-looking script. This is exactly why there are 6 or 8 separate hands in writing.
See this hands
But there is a strong possibility that those who wrote the second copy did not write the text with understanding. So, the brain/author was a single person. But the hands that wrote the copies were different. Todays VM book is the secont copy.
C-) By looking at the statistical structure of the words in the content, it is thought that there is more than one language in the content. However, in a language with agglutinative words such as Turkish, when the subject or the subject time changes, the suffixes at the end of the words will change, and the structure on some pages will not be considered appropriate for the general form. This is not surprising. This was the case in all periods of the Turkish language because we are talking about a situation that depends on the structure of the language.
D-) About the Turks used Arabic Alphabet issue; Kodex Cumanicus is a manuscript written in the Kipchak Cuman Turkish Dialect and even before the VM, and was written in the Latin alphabet. Turks also used the Runic alphabet throughout the Ottoman Empire and before the Ottoman Empire. Also, the Karamanli Turks used the Greek alphabet, and the Khazar Turks adopted the Jewish alphabet because they (Khazar-Turks) had also adopted Judaism.
Even before 1071, Turkish-speaking communities lived in Anatolia, Istanbul and Europe, and some of them had adopted to Christianity. And all these groups used various alphabets. For example, the Pecheneg Turks are among them.
That is, it is an unreal generalization that the Turks only use the Arabic alphabet and it is incompatible with the facts. Turks also used the Latin alphabet. However, during the Ottoman period, the Arabic alphabet was an official one. This situation did not find its reflection among the people. Because it was difficult for people to learn the Arabic alphabet and they preferred to use the various alphabets they learned in the family. Claiming otherwise on this issue is unproven and inconsistent.
6-) Although we have examined only 10% of the manuscript in detail, it is not by chance that we have identified and defined 700 words in Turkish. The VM is written in a natural language. That language is Old Turkish. About 20% to 21% of the words are read all the 240 pages, with virtually no phonetic changes. That is, by being on every page and every line, they are read clearly for this 240 pages long. This situation should have been expected when a correct reading analysis or key was found, and it did.
As of now, there are overlaps between 101 words and the drawing made on the same page. About 20% of these overlaps were found to have not changed their phonetic value or changed them minorly. For example, plant names such as ŞALAK, SAZAK, SESAME, etc are among them. There was also overlap in animal names and star names. In addition, the words expressing action (verb) overlap with the drawings. We wrote which ones are on our own page. In addition, about 100 complete sentences were read by us.
Please see some of the word drawing overlaps here again;
We have mathematically explained the possibility that 4 words written side by side, consisting of 20 letters in total, coincidentally (by chance) overlap with any natural language. We have shown this description according to the 26 Letter alphabet. We did the same math calculation with 180 letters (including syllable characters) and showed them.
If you examine the VM texts in detail, we are talking about a book written with approximately 180 signs, if you take into account all the letter-like long-signs. These signs are not simple letters. Is there an alphabet for any language in the world that expresses with about 180 different and base sound forms? Of course not. Because these are not simple letters, but they are syllabic characters.
We have already shown that , and these syllabic characters are also mostly created with mostly using same Latin alphabet signs. The syllable character formation and reading method we have shown can be applied to all complex (syllable) writing signs throughout 240 pages in VM.
Moreover, the ATA alphabet transcription we made for the VM-letters VM has the highest number of Latin alphabet characters in its content with the same phonetic value as in the Latin alphabet.
This shows that the letters VM are not unknown but known. VM letters are mostly composed of Latin alphabet letters and syllable derivatives created by combining them. That is, it is correct to consider the author's handwriting as a form of handwriting that has never been seen before. But it would be misleading to describe them as alphabets that have never been seen before. Researchers who have not been able to get rid of this mistake for about 100 years are in the majority around the world.
Please see this in detail again;
7-) Having read 101 drawing word overlaps and 100 sentences so far is nothing but the fact that the mathematical probability calculations are clearly shouting the truth. (So much so that these numbers will increase to cover all 240 pages in the future.)
A person who is called a real scientist should not ignore the option with the highest logical and mathematical probability when comparing different options in front of him or her. On the contrary, a scientists should characterize the option that offers the most overlap as the highest probability.
While many drawings show that the phonetic value of word matches has not changed in 600 years, we also find and show the words written here from existing and old dictionaries.
We continue to explain the subject in academies and to enlighten linguists on these issues. The developments are very positive. We have not encountered a single objection on a single issue, and this shows that hundreds of linguists seem to understand what is what. Awareness about this will increase over time.
Kind regards,
Thanks
