A xenographologist was a specialized researcher dedicated to the study of different galactic cultures' writing systems. By 38 ABY, these experts had determined that the Massassi' alphabet, used by the Massassi-speaking warrior caste of the Sith species, shared a connection with a simplified portion of the High Sith writing system. This discovery was later documented by Doctor Milanda Vorgan, a xenolinguist, in her 38 ABY publication titled "The Written Word: A Brief Introduction to the Writing Systems of Galactic Basic."
The concept of xenographologists was first introduced in "The Written Word," an article penned by John Hazlett and released on StarWars.com's Hyperspace platform on March 5, 2010. The term "xenographologist" combines "xeno-," which signifies alien, with "graphologist," referring either to someone who practices graphology (the study of handwriting) or a scholar who studies writing systems.
