[split] What can the structural peculiarities of the VMS tell us about the nature of the underlying text

[Jorge_Stolfi]

1. A rare ancient language phonetical or real Stolfi’s theory that it is an Asian language. Or it could be a very rare dialect that no one speaks or know anymore (I’m not allowed to say here which one that might be ).

Talking to another VMS fan here, it occurred to us that it could also be a very literal character-by-character "translation" of Chinese texts into some non-Asian language, like Arabic or Hebrew.  He believes that the word structure and character frequencies are compatible with that.

Or into that other language that you did not mention here. 

All the best, --stolfi
