Calgary engineer believes he's cracked the mysterious Voynich Manuscript
Ahmet if you have cracked the code, please just decode the whole thing

When we first decrypted the alphabet transcriptio code, we noticed that 21% of the words had not changed their phonetic value at all in the intervening 600 years, and some of tham can be read in a form that very small and familiar (known) phonetic change. At that time, we were thought we could read all 240 pages quickly.

Later, we realized that there is top-down coding in the first letter of each line in the content. 

After that, we tried to read the manuscript from the beginning. It was from that moment that we realized that we could not finish this type of reading quickly without prof.-help.

There are many abbreviated words in the content. For example, the word ÇOCUK (CHILD) is written in the form of ÇCK and so on. In addition, there are special names such as drug names made from plant mixtures and some plant names in the content, and we find it difficult to read them. In addition, we read a personal name in the content that is not seen among the human names in Turkish (which we think may be from the names found in Europe at that time).

For this abbreviated words, nouns & pronouns variety reason, sentence reading studies have not progress as fast as we hoped in the first years estimation.

Another reason for our slow progress is that we have to devote only our spare time to this work.

We've deciphered some abbreviations so far, so we've been able to read some full pages, and we think our readings are mostly correct. However we think that linguists can help us to correct our possible mistakes.

In addition, many words are read clearly on each line of each page throughout 240 pages, and when we read them together with the abbreviations we deciphered, we can see logical overlaps with the drawings in the content.

Despite all this, the complete deciphering of every word and every sentence for 240 pages can be achieved with the support of experts in many different fields. For example, volunteers who have an idea about medical terminology 600 years ago are needed. Likewise, we need volunteers who are knowledgeable about 600 years ago drug names, plant names, and toponym names etc.

We have limited info about old Europe toponyms, plant and drug names, medical terminology for that period and ancient star names etc. Because of that, we read a lot of academic articles on these subjects and we take note of the proper names and some critical words in these articles. On the other hand, if there are volunteers whose field of work is in these disciplines, the text-reading work in the VM-content will accelerate. We also need the support of linguists. 

This type of reading work, which requires complex writing style that is difficult to read, and requires expertise from many different disciplines and old terminology, should be progressed with volunteers who have knowledge in multi-faceted fields.

Actually we give the ATA read key and show that this key works to read. There is no miracle or extraordinary situation in the content other than those I have mentioned. We continue our reading studies and our aim is of course to have read all 240 pages.

In fact, my studies in linguistics, which have been going on since 1992, are the things I personally like to engage in. On the other hand, in the course of my life, I actually have to devote a very small part of my total time to my research in the field of linguistics. I hope one day I will have a chance to change my order of priorities. If all of these things happen, it will be possible to accelerate the reading work for us and we are actually trying to reach the goal that you simply expressed in a single sentence.

However, we are slowly moving towards that our VM related goal, contrary to what we had previously envisioned. We are progressing slowly, but we are confident and we make maximum efforts to ensure that our work does not go out of the scientific framework.

Thanks,
