Hello. Sorry for not responding right away. I've been very busy.
I assume that the original language of the Voynich manuscript is English. However, Latin was widespread in the church and among scholars in many European countries of the Middle Ages ( You are not allowed to view links.

At the same time, France had a great influence on Britain as a result of the Norman Conquest ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ). Since Latin was often distorted when borrowed from other languages, it is useful to include Latin derivatives from other languages, especially Romance languages, since distorted forms of Latin often coincide in different languages. In addition, a significant part of this Latin was probably brought to Britain by the French along with French words.
The German language is not much involved in my theory, however, it may have little influence here, given that English itself originated mainly from Germanic dialects, as well as as a result of close contacts.
P.S. It's also possible that I haven't quite figured out how to respond to comments here in the chat, and I'm clicking in the wrong place, resulting in my answer being displayed in the wrong place.
