Someone was able to translate portions of the Voynich Manuscript but has unfortunately removed his videos. I found a bit more info here:

This gist is that nomadic Romani people settled around Syria and wrote it. The language and writing is a blend of several languages and cultures. The evidence in the videos backs this up pretty well.

Edit, found the videos here: https://www.reddit.com/r/voynich/comments/ev9h5v/comment/joy...

Many have claimed to translate parts of it. What makes you find this one particularly convincing?

Thanks for sharing. I don't have the expertise to evaluate the claims, but it's certainly an interesting theory and a compelling story. Just wish he'd continued the presentation of his work.

Any idea why they removed the videos? Even the reddit thread you link to is deleted...

A lot of people were speculating he would make his findings official and didn’t want to over share. I do see a comment about his theory being debunked. That would be expected, the language used was a mashup of several existing languages, so it’s possible a lot of what was written is copy-pasta gibberish. However, the video points out of a lot of cultural aspects of the book which support a Romani origin.
