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.

Aramaic is one of the first languages I looked at in relation to the VMS text (along with Hebrew and Greek) and I know many others have mentioned Aramaic, as well. Part of the reason is the similarity of some of the "P"-like shapes to the VMS gallows characters and part of the reason is that it is logical to investigate languages that use non-Latin characters.
Aramaic is also of interest because the grammar is somewhat different from most western languages.
