Can you provide a longer text file for analysis?Slovenian language existed as an oral language and Slovenian people used Glagolitic Old Church Slavonic (Croatian adaptation) for liturgy, the German nobility imposed German as official language. There is only a few fragments written in Slovenian with Latin Letters, mostly by German or Italian priests. The two-three page long texts mostly include the same prayers.
According to official history, the Slovenian literacy started in 1550 when the first book in Slovenian was printed in Tubingen. However, there are several references that the Slovenian dictionary and grammar book was written by 1470, but since it was lost, nobody can prove that it existed. Could that be the VM?
Whatever the case, many of the linguistic features displayed in the VM, were changed by the 16th century and references to them existed mostly in the 18th century linguist, many of them in German.
I have just recently started to work on larger texts for entropy. This means that I have to retype the Slovenian text from several different digitalized books, while at the same time I have to adjust the VM transcription for the changes that were imposed in the 16th century. It is a lot of work, because because my computer skills are limited. There was a lot of reading and translating from Slovenian scholarly articles before I have prepared and written the rules for adjustments, and translate them into English, so that I would be able to explain the required changes.
I would be more than glad to share hundreds of pages of my research where I try to analyze the text step by step, from the way I developed the transliteration/transcription alphabet to individual grammar articles, comparison with other researchers and theories, languages etc. Just give me a few day so I can load the articles on my Drop box.
I am not forcing anybody to believe my theory, but I am convince that time will tell. For now, I feel that my research would be of great benefit for the future VM studies.
