[edit] Unrecognized Türcic or Tataric dialect? ... an opinion by Mart Vabar

The writing systems with old "Turcic runes" are pretty democratic. The visual shape of glyphs may change a lot, too. Just look at these links:

http://sophistikatedkids.com/turkic/31Alphabet/BaichorovTable72En.htm

http://sophistikatedkids.com/turkic/31Alphabet/KyzlasovIL%20En.htm

Could Rohonczi Codex make one more column in these tables?

Why not venetic variation http://users.tpg.com.au/etr/etrusk/po/venetic.html considering the Venetian origin.

PS

If anybody is interested in this book, he should regard also at the Voynich Manuscript.

[edit] Doubtful sources

Here is the text from the last edit before revertion:

2 other pages http://www.intellact.com/o.jpg and reading of this http://www.intellact.com/72.wav

Another ocurences of dragolica writing system http://kabardians.com/gallery/script1.jpg there are other shorter description on, gold vase now at Hermitage, silver digout from Ukraina.

Anyway, the links he provided seem really doubtful. Still, I tried checking it out. A google search on "Dragolica" truned up nothing.

  1. Hahh realy
And the root site of his third link is some kind of horse site. Will anyone shed some light on this? Cal 1234 05:02, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
  1. and What the hourse did say ????? :)

What to do in case like this ? In mather almost nobody understand evrything appers to be doubtful. Just is by definition of the word doubtful. Check the meaning of the word http://www.answers.com/doubtfoul&r=67 Google is not searching yet all old sources so ... wait and please be more patient. The mater is at least few hundred yars old and nobody criticaly thinking will expect to get all references in single google search. Is it?

Wikipedia has a policy of no original research -- that we should only post information that was published in respectable sources, such as books, scientific journals, etc. I assume yours is not, therefore it is doubtful.Bogdan | Talk 09:11, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia should be based on NPOV. Your sense is Your point of view. Do you need a research paper to see what is obviously similar? re: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rohonczi_Codex&oldid=10649732. That is as much as is given for now - who wana get more??. Read this codex by hart, and in oposite direction:) or turn the book upside down :))) "Mądrej głowie dość dwie słowie".

It's all about sensitivity, when someone sense cannot sense essence.


Rohoncz is the little town Rechnitz, in Austria !

That is true. However, in 1907 it was part of Hungary. Only after WWI, it passed to Austria. However I'll mention it in the article. Bogdan | Talk 07:15, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gusztav's Library

It would be interesting to know the entire content of Batthyány's library which was donated to the academy, if a record was kept. That may even give us a clue. Alexander 007 09:11, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Most likely, the full records are at the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. (Arany János utca 1, Budapest, near Saint Stephen's Basilica) I did a search on their catalog and found that three books have the comment: "Prov.: Batthyány 1" :
  • Commentarii absolutissimi ad titulum digestorum de verborum obligationibus / Hugo Donellus, Francofurti, 1599
  • Commentarii absolutissimi ad II. III. IV. VI. et VIII. libros codicis Justinianei / Hugo Donellus ; maxima fere ex parte posthumi ... a Jacobo Schegkio ... publicati, Francofurti, 1599
  • Petrus Albinus, Meissnische Land und Berg-Chronica, Dressden, 1589

I'm thinking about writing a letter to the academy. Even though the inventory might not give us a clue (or if it does, we might not recognize it), it is at least a possibility, and there aren't many other leads in this case. Alexander 007 11:39, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

From what I've seen in Budapest, Hungarians are rarely good at speaking foreign languages, so writing in Hungarian would be a plus :-) bogdan ʤjuʃkə | Talk 11:49, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
German is somewhat widely spoken, but at the Academy of Sciences I am sure everyone speaks at least two foreign languages (requirement to getting a diploma). --80.98.38.69 11:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

If I can't manage that Hungarian writing on my own, I might have a friend help me. It will only be a few sentences anyway. I'll probably just write it in English if I write it. Alexander 007 12:29, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
