# Minoan Cryptanalysis: Computational Approaches to Deciphering Linear A and Assessing Its Connections with Language Families from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea Areas

Aaradh Nepal, Francesco Perono Cacciafoco, 2024. _Information_.

Combines a sign-shape similarity measure with a consonant-skeleton dictionary search across five languages and reports only scattered, inconclusive matches; reviews earlier computational attempts including Revesz's.
