I don't find your argument convincing, translating "European", "African" and "Asian" (instead of Europe/Europa, etc.) to Uzbek doesn't show any ground for interpreting EVA-L as L to me. In Uzbek this is clearly a universal suffix -lik, similar to -ean/-an in English, there is no shared suffix in these Voynichese words. Overall, you mapping looks very patchy. I think it's a pity given that you started with a very solid argument regarding high likelihood of Europe/Africa/Asia having these or similar pronunciations for a wide range of possible underlying languages.
What is EVA transliterating, and where to? Some people here talk about „reading in EVA“, but there are no words like daiiin in any language.
Better?
Again: today‘s Slavic languages, and most other, have very few to do with the conditions of 1450AD. Russian, Belarussian, Ukrainian etc. just began to develop faster in 14/15thCt.
Bulgarian was a bit advanced.
The eastern european language sphere consisted of Old East Slavic, Ruthenian and Old Russian when VMS was written.
Any exclusions like „there is no language with L at Africa“ are completely senseless, as VMS language is at least 600 years old and there may haven even X and O’s in it, which we cant know.
The examples with Usbekian and Bulgarian are far away from any VMS wording. It is useless to set every VMS letter 1:1 to modern words.
Only „old“ words which may have been in use for hundreds of years like „wall“ , „dog“, „fire“ „wood“ or something may have had the chance to „survive“ until today nearly unchanged.
By the way, you can find an L-less Africa in the 3rd image of the heading picture above. So „Efrika“ and „Eropya“ are with us and dont show an L.
