The 15th century is hardly "the dust of time". If a language as complex as the one in the VMS actually existed, then why are there no traces of such a culture, anywhere?
We know little about the languages of Eastern Europe and Eurasia.
For example: "Cuman" a Turkic language (of the Kipchak branch) from the Caspian Sea steppe, spoken in Hungary and the Eurasian steppes. The only existing example is the CODEX CUMANICUS, a kind of "Rosetta Stone," where the same text is written in Latin, Persian, and Cuman by Catholic missionaries; without that transcription, we would never have known of the textual existence of this language. -

Well, there are more than 50 languages, many of them still spoken by tens of millions of people, whose structure and statistics closely resemble those of Voynichese. Although it is known that they changed a lot in the last 600 years.
All the best, --stolfi -

From Vladimirs site!
Fresh green paint should not be there, it should be aged and cracked. The binding could have been rushed. The time period is in question.
Old Vellum New binding maybe, I struggle with this image. Not really from what I found in my theory.

Or a team that knew so little about cryptography that, six centuries later, no one has the slightest idea what they wrote.

Mandarin and all the other ~50 Chinese "dialects" like Cantonese (which are generally not mutually intelligible, even though they share the same writing system). Plus Vietnamese, Lao, Khmer (Cambodian), Thai, Burmese, Tibetan, and several minor ones.
