Which single word means ‘a person who studies linguistics or who is skilled in multiple languages’?

Explanation

A ‘linguist’ is a person who studies linguistics, the scientific study of language and its structure, or, in a broader everyday sense, someone skilled in multiple languages. This differs somewhat from a ‘polyglot,’ which specifically emphasizes the practical ability to speak several languages, without necessarily implying formal academic study of linguistics itself.
