The Voynich Manuscript Deciphered: A Phonetic Transcription of Spoken Elu-Sinhala
The Voynich Manuscript (Beinecke MS 408, carbon-dated 1404-1438 CE) is identified as a 15th-century Elu-Sinhala pharmaceutical text - a teaching manual recording a physician's spoken instructions for Ayurvedic preparations. The writing system is a bespoke abugida mapping 27 EVA characters to 14 Sinhala phonemes. Key results: 90.9% of 35,916 tokens glossable in English (32,646 tokens); 99.4% matching Sinhala dictionary (Tier 1+2+3); only 0.6% truly unknown (213 tokens); domain clustering in pharmaceutical vocabulary at 101.2x over random (Z=52.7); 24 independent converging evidence lines, combined p much less than 10^-7. Includes the full paper (PDF) and the complete 4,591-entry decoded vocabulary (TSV) with English glosses, confidence levels, and Sinhala phonetic forms.
