Matthew,
Do you happen to know the word length distribution for Aramaic? I have no opinion here, but it's a language that was in constant use in medieval Europe, and is always overlooked.
PS - I'd also remind members that linguists such as Georg Stolfi ran tests on all the usual and unusual languages. Stolfi concluded it might be a central Asian language such as Jurchen.
Philip Neal has always said the text behaves like Latin.
As far as I know, there has never been any statistical or linguistic text which gave results for any form of German. Others may know differently and be able to point to where the evidence and data can be found.
