El Silbo, Gomera
On the Canarian Island of Gomera the
whistling language El Silbo
is still used. Shepherds communicate by El Silbo over long distances
even over the deep canyons of the island.
The whistling language does not make use of a code like that of the
Morse code. It transforms Spanish into a sequence of whistling sounds of
discrete pitches, duration and dynamics.
