Researchers have quantitatively confirmed a proposed language distinction within the Voynich manuscript, known as Currier's A/B split.

A supervised classifier trained on this data achieved 89.2% accuracy in predicting folio identities, suggesting the character pairs exhibit distinct functional patterns. AI
