Given the time period of the Voynich, if in fact its origin is of Tudor (known as Templars) decent the Royal court would have spoken Galwegian Gaelic. All Tudors, Lancasters, Yorks and McLellans spoke Galwegian fluently. It was thought to have never been written down, but in reviewing the Voynich Manuscript I believe the royal family used this language to hide Top Secret Royal Secrets.
