Philology

Philology is like being a language detective. You look at words from a long time ago and try to figure out what they mean and how people used them. It's like solving a really neat puzzle!

Just like a detective looks for clues to solve a mystery, philologists look at old books, letters, and other old documents to understand the language of the past. They try to find out how words were pronounced, what they meant back then, and how people used them in their daily lives.

Philology can help us learn about our history, culture and the world around us. It's like peeking into a time machine to see what language was like in the past!
