So, what language do they need to know?

Most likely it was the native language spoken by the students the author/editor wanted to teach.  I think the author/editor of the Voynich Manuscript invented an alphabet, not a language.  It is possible that it was a language or dialect that is no longer spoken by living people.

I do not know the language but my best guess at this time is that it was a West Slavic language.

(1) The earliest known location of the manuscript was the area that is now the Czech Republic.

(2) Two women have claimed that some of the words seemed familiar to them.  One of the women knew the Slovak language and the other knew the Moravian language.

(3) The native language of Jacobus Horcicky/Sinapius de Tepenec/Tepenecz was probably Moravian or something close to it.

The only language that I know is American English.  I struggle to read Shakespeare and the Voynich Manuscript is older than the works of Shakespeare.

The only thing I am certain of is the general meaning of the non-plant illustrations in Quires 9 - 13. 

I have been posting here intermittently since early 2024 and I have posted my ideas many times.  I have given up hope that anyone here will listen to them and I am not interested in continuing that debate.  I only came back today because I wanted to let Koen know that I agree with the idea that he presented in his recent video.  I know he doesn't agree with my other ideas.
