As far as I know, it's not definitively known that the writing in the
Voynich Manuscript is a false writing system. --

To the best of my knowledge, all alphabets are "artificially constructed". One does not, after all, find them growing from trees, or lying around on beaches.
The definition of "false writing system" given in this article makes no sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 ( talk) 23:49, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
There are 'writing systems and codes/ciphers which are established and generally accepted' of varying ages (modern ones would include road signs, scientific-mathematical systems, written Morse code and possibly even Klingon). there are 'background texts/necessary documents within stories (treasure maps being a prime example) and artistic and other constructs, and 'things which are meant to deceive for malicious purposes.' Presumably the intent of the article is to cover the latter uses and to create a listing. Jackiespeel ( talk) 10:38, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
I'm very suspicious of this entire entry: the Codex Seraphinianus and Voynich Manuscript each may or may not be fake, but there's currently no way of knowing. Moreover, the phrase "false writing system" seems to exist only in this Wikipedia page and other pages derived from it. As such, I can't help but feeling that this page is itself some kind of fake.
