A Historian
A scientist who studies language and written records is called a linguist or a philologist. They analyze language structure, history, and usage to understand how languages evolve and the cultural contexts in which they are used.
The long period before the development of written language is called prehistory because it refers to the time before written records or documentation of historical events, making it difficult to study and interpret without written sources. This era lacks written records, so our understanding of it is based on archaeological findings and scientific evidence.
It is difficult to know for certain what language the Neolithic people spoke as they did not leave written records. However, linguistic studies suggest that various languages were spoken during the Neolithic period, depending on the region and cultural group.
The Mogollon culture is believed to have spoken a language that is now extinct. Due to the lack of written records, the exact linguistic affiliation of the Mogollon people remains uncertain. It is thought that they may have spoken languages related to the Athabascan or Uto-Aztecan language families.
No, linguistics studies both spoken and written language. It examines the structure, sounds, grammar, meaning, and social aspects of language in all its forms, including spoken, written, and signed languages.
The language in which the document was first written is not specified in the question.
