Quote:My point is that Bavarian lowers the amount of entropy the cipher must eliminate in order to reach a Voynich-like Style.
Correct me if I am wrong but I feel it is the opposite.
High entropy = disorder, randomness, low entropy = predictable patterns.
If I understand correctly Bavarian is a kind of shortened German. It eats some vowels, I suppose "bringen" may become "bringn". So it works a bit similar to Latin abbreviations.
I believe it was shown here on these forums for Latin abbreviations that they actually make the entropy higher.
It could be the same for Bavarian.
"Bringen" has "en" in the end. "N" after "E" is quite predictable -> lower entropy
"Bringn" has "gn" in the end. "N" after "G" is not so predictable -> higher entropy
---------------
By the way, I know only what I can Google but it feels to me that Bavarian is not so monosylabic.
There is actually a Bavarian Wikipedia

It is not really monosylabic. Would medieval Bavarian be different?
