An experiment with phonetic writing

[ololololo]

Now imagine if the language and phonetic values were unknown.

According to proponents of the Chinese theory, VMS is problematic due to phonetics. The author clearly perceived Chinese in his own way, with a “European” ear, and we cannot know how accurately he represented what he heard (for example, the speaker might have been reading quickly, and the author might have taken two similar characters for one word).
But Jorge Stolfi has some connections with SBS...

Nice try to look east (a bit too far).

I chose Ingush because it seemed quite similar to Voynichese to me — it has repeating words that may differ by just one letter and by stress (хилла хила as qokeedy qokedy), and its words are often quite short. It was the easiest to turn into something resembling VMS.
Some Caucasian languages have the same feature.
