TL;DR
This paper investigates the statistical properties of letter frequencies in European texts and explores the internal structure of the Voynich Manuscript, proposing language pairs and analyzing spectral portraits of letter distributions.
Contribution
It introduces a method to analyze the Voynich Manuscript's structure using statistical letter frequency analysis and spectral portraits, suggesting possible language pairs.
Findings
Logarithmic dependence of letter sequences in texts
Spectral portraits reveal internal structure of the manuscript
Proposed language pairs for the Voynich Manuscript
Abstract
The statistical properties of letters frequencies in European literature texts are investigated. The determination of logarithmic dependence of letters sequence for one-language and two-language texts are examined. The pare of languages is suggested for Voynich Manuscript. The internal structure of Manuscript is considered. The spectral portraits of two-letters distribution are constructed.
