While Mr Robinson's paper does not appear,
here is an abstract of one paper from the web site, and I wonder , if
it is possible( to go beyond the author's attempts for linkage of
Sanskrit as the base for the origin of the French, English scripts
etc ) to analyse and see if there is any rational basis to these
papers.
Do the mathematical concepts make any sense ?.

1. Structure of World Scripts in Vedas

Script is called "Lipi" in Sanskrit meaning a surface layer as it is
a means to project speech or language on plane of paper. Its
individual components are letter or their combinations as words,
sentences, paras are flexible or "Ksara". As the language is a
representation of real world on paper surface, its component letters
are in same number as is the classification of real world in several
systems.
Plane crystallography theorem in group theory tells that a place
surface can be fully covered by 17 types of motions of any pattern.
Three dimensional space can be covered by two such planes
perpendicular to each other having 17 x 17 motions. So far projecting
all possible sciences in a single scheme, we need 17 x 17 letters in
vedas with 108 vowels, 180 consonants and one undefined letter "OM"-
called the word in beginning of creation in Bible.
Sankhya philosophy has 25 elements - a matrix of 5 x 5 from 5
tanmatras i.e. 5 basic units of measure in physics. Jyotisa
(mathematics) is play of numbers (Sankhya) so the script used for
this purpose has 5 x 5 letters i.e. 5 vowels and 20 consonants. This
scheme is origin of English and French scripts.
Saiva photosophy includes perception (consciousness) and its
boundaries (maya) having 6 x 6 elements based on 5 basic units and
one consciousness. For purpose of Yoga, tantra, script of 6 x 6
letters was used being source of Hebrew, Latin, Persian. 25 letters
script called "Avakahada" was converted to this by adding 12 appendix
letters.
Science of Vak (speech) is called Vyakarana (grammer), Vak is created
by Vayu (wind, air) whose partitions are called marut having 7 x 7
components. This has extra dimension of motion. This scheme is called
deva-nagari created in grammer of deva-king Indra. With unclassified
Om it has 50 letters with 32 internal, 52 other consonants and vowels.
Music is an art which has 8 x 8 components with extra dimension of
harmony (inter connection). This is number of letters in Siksa of
Panini.
Speech is described in vedas of thousands of letters (aksara) in
parama-Vyoma. On earth surface China and Japan are beyond heaven in
Himalayas. They use script of many thousand letters where letters and
words are same.
