There's a distinction between Latin scripts and Latin language. We are writing in a form of Latin script right now. Medieval manuscripts in the vernacular were also written in a variety of Latin scripts.
There is not a doubt in my mind that the VM script is most closely related to Latin script and numerals. The numerals are of course not of Latin origin, but they appear in the form used in medieval Latin scripts. But this tells nothing about the underlying language, if there is any.
So anyway, the "script" part of Helmut's theory is not controversial.
