Quote:"This is the beginning of this experimental work. Our goal is to collect as many alphabets of different languages and dialects as possible and to measure their similarity to determine at least the probable family of the language to which Voynich’s alphabet belongs."

Quote:From Wikipedia
An abugida (/ɑːbʊˈɡiːdə, from Ge'ez: አቡጊዳ), sometimes known as alphasyllabary, neosyllabary or pseudo-alphabet, is a segmental writing system in which consonant–vowel sequences are written as units; each unit is based on a consonant letter, and vowel notation is secondary, like a diacritical mark. This contrasts with a full alphabet, in which vowels have status equal to consonants, and with an abjad, in which vowel marking is absent, partial, or optional – in less formal contexts, all three types of script may be termed "alphabets".
