Language as a mirror to humanity's Soul

   Philology derives from the Greek φιλολογία (philologia), meaning “love of words” or “love of learning.” It ties together the multifaceted study of texts, languages, and the phenenomenon of language itself. Studia humanitatis — humanistic studies — had for centuries championed Philology as it’s main constituent. The discipline was nearly synonymous with humanistic intellectual life, encompassing not only studies of language and literature but also history, culture, religion, art, archaeology and more. Philology was the queen of all human sciences. 

   At Language Chronicles, we aim to revive interest in philology, showcasing its enduring relevance and presenting the perennial stories hidden within ancient texts. By fusing language, history, and scholarship, we hope to inspire a new appreciation for this forgotten art. We aim too at presenting the wonders of language from multiple angles, whether it is through language learning methodologies, philosophy of language, writing systems, etymologies, interesting facts, language profiles, and more, to reflect and deepen our understanding of the phenomenology of Language.
