Still Waters Posted January 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2013 On a Spanish island, an ancient whistling language that once seemed to be dying out is now undergoing a revival. This method of communication, in which the Spanish language is replaced by two whistled vowels and four consonants, has a peculiarity perfectly suited to this landscape of deep valleys and steep ravines. It has the ability to travel up to two miles (3.2km), much further and with less effort than shouting. http://www.bbc.co.uk...gazine-20953138 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macroramphosis Posted July 6, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I spent a great deal of time on La Gomera back at the beginning of this century, and heard the siblo used several times, both in use and in demonstration. It is a very powerful and moving form of communication. It is certainly effective too. If you ever have the chance to hear it do not pass it up.
