The early Hebrews also had no written language for many years. Their oral traditions were also used to pass along information from one generation to another.
Jewish answer:
Jewish tradition states that the Jewish people had a written language all the way back, just as the contemporary Babylonians and Sumerians did. Even before Moses, the Israelites had scrolls of their traditions (midrash Shemot Rabbah 5:18).
