What do you mean by this, what linguistic requirements? It has been proposed that based on the numbers of symbols it is some type of syllabary like Linear A and B. Some have tried to read it based on the similarities of certain symbols with these writing systems. They claim that it seems that the language is Minoan(see linera A) an early Hellenic – Aeoloic dialect with certain eastern elements(Hittite - Luvian etc).
The disk seems to wave been created by a member of a very advanced civilization. So we should take all things into account.
The unique phonetic hieroglyphic Phaistos disk symbols are 45 , equal to the gematria value of the name Adam in Hebrew(ADM). One the other hand the total number of unique symbols is 46 equal to the word-number of Adam in Hellenic.
The scientific community in general agrees that it is genuine. The Arkhalokhori axe was found decades after the Phaistos disk was unearthed and it contained hieroglyphic symbols with stricking similarities with the Phaistos disk. How could Pernier have known about this? Also the Phaistos disk was found in 1908. But from wiki we read:
"In 1912, Hans von Winiwarter reported 47 chromosomes in spermatogonia and 48 in oogonia, concluding an XX/XO sex determination mechanism. Painter in 1922 was not certain whether the diploid number of man is 46 or 48, at first favouring 46. He revised his opinion later from 46 to 48, and he correctly insisted on humans having an XX/XY system."
On the Phaistos disk Adam falls on the sex chromosome 45 (Y), while Eve falls on the sex chromosome 46 (X). In a female we have XX, and in a male YX.
The Phaistos disk has a great deal of scientific information encoded on it, that was not known when it was discovered. It could not have been forged.
In the pic one can see more on chromosomes and how they relate to various species. In some cases it’s not clear what they meant.
