A scientist who studies the glottis (the part of your voice box that controls sound) and how it works.
From Greek 'glotta' (tongue) + '-ologist' (one who studies). The glottis was named after the Greek word for tongue because ancient scholars thought it resembled a tongue-like shape.
Glottologists help us understand why your voice gets deeper or higher—it's all about how fast your glottis vibrates! Some study languages across the world by examining how different glottises work in speakers of different tongues.
