VMs: Is the VM... Finnish?



Hi all,

I just wondered which language/culture

*) was geographically close enough to central Europe to explain the overall 
style of the VM,

*) was reasonably different from the Germanic and Romance languages we are 
familiar with to defy simple decryption attempts,

*) and had a poor written record around 1500, perhaps necessitating 
somebody "invented" a writing system for this language.

Finland came to mind. See the Wikipedia's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_language

Perhaps it's really not an encoded book, but some fellow's attempt to write 
down Finnish somehow.

So, is the VM really a Finnish sauna handbook?

Estonia, over to you.
