It would be very ironic if the intention of the creators of the Voynich Manuscript was the opposite of encryption but their efforts ended up producing one of the greatest encryptions of all. All those illustrations with all those labels, it looks like they were eager to share information, not hide it, and yet hiding the information is exactly what they ended up doing. But what is bothering me is, if Czech is the language then why have all the people who made that claim produced such dreadful translations?

In the Godlen legend, from which this sample was taken, this form of J is used for Jesus (pronounced as yes-us), jedan (one), jest (I).

Why a double U for duše (souls)? A plural form, on a herbal page only, and no duša or other case (declension) anywhere...
What about the many non final eee, how do you interpret them? The common (186) eeey and less common eeoy: UEJ, UOJ?

As shocking as it may seem, you are not the first to have this idea.However linguists are not totally clueless and the language family would have been identified long ago. No good match was found so far. The problem is much more difficult, there are many features that can't be explained by any language, phonetically written or not. Ignoring problems does not make them go away.
