Philology

Philology considers both form and meaning in writing, such as text or manuscript, and linguistic expression. It combines linguistics and literary studies.^[1]^[2]

Classical philology is the philology of the Greek, Latin and Sanskrit languages.^[3]

Any classical language can be studied philologically, and indeed describing a language as "classical" is to imply the existence of a philological tradition associated with it.
