Trying to learn a language from scratch, just from text is a fun exercise for humans also. I recently tried this with Hindi after I had an disagreement with someone about the exact question of this post. I didn’t get very far in 2 hours though.
I think this is almost impossible for humans to do. Even with a group of humans and decades of research. Otherwise we wouldn’t have needed the Rosetta Stone to read Egyptian hieroglyphs. And would long have deciphered the Voynich manuscript.
