Silbo Gomero: ‘Special and Beautiful’ Whistled Language

Not a lot of easy surface details, but it seems like the language is pidgin Spanish adapted to whistling phonemes. There are a few videos where you can hear examples words like &quot;Mexico&quot; and so on.<p>A little experimentation and I found I can whistle quite a few English words, so it&#x27;s probably a matter of acclimation to vocabulary limits and practice among enough individuals that things become standardized. Using things unique to whistling could augment vocabulary or add nuance, but I don&#x27;t see any reason straight US English (or other languages) couldn&#x27;t be used.<p>I could be way off base, but this is a pretty cool language format.

Whistled languages seem like a useful idea, but I can&#x27;t find enough material to to anything more than say &quot;oh, that&#x27;s a neat thing that exists&quot;. In particular, many whistled languages seem to be transliterated (I know that&#x27;s not really the right word but close enough) from &quot;normal&quot; spoken&#x2F;verbalized languages with a loose mapping of sounds to whistles, and ever since I encountered them I&#x27;ve wondered if the same could be done for English. Unfortunately, there&#x27;s not a lot of good material online describing how the sound mapping works, and what little there is assumes that you&#x27;re a linguistic expert, so it just sits in the back of my mind as an interesting idea with no (good) path to realize it.

I had the opportunity to experience Silbo Gomero first hand - at least the version they show off to tourists on a tour. It’s a unique language that was nearly lost.<p>If you visit the Canary Islands I highly recommend to check it out.

There is a nice song about it (in french): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;jAlnL8JHetY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;jAlnL8JHetY</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;open.spotify.com&#x2F;track&#x2F;5LI0bvOOWBZurxNuO8su1S" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;open.spotify.com&#x2F;track&#x2F;5LI0bvOOWBZurxNuO8su1S</a>

La Gomera, Romanian indepedent movie, is based on this. The director learned about the whistling lunguage and then, for almost a decade, looked fot ways to transform it into a movie.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt7921248&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt7921248&#x2F;</a>
