I am in America. I only speak English but really wish we had whistlers here. I can whistle (to call wandering dogs)...only while using my 2 pinky fingers. I simply wish I could whistle without having to use any fingers. Thank you for sharing. I wondered if their were English whistlers.
Hello Kimberly. Now that I'm approaching the end of my prison sentence for growing medicinal hemp, I finally have some access to the interwebs. Yes sir, I believe there are some American whistlers on a fairly big island in Alaska. Saint Larry, I think it's called. Whistling with a finger or fingers like you already know is the best way. Then you can also learn to whistle without fingers, which also works fine, as long as it's the loud type, with lips stretched across, not puckered. Best wishes. 🌹💜🎵🎵🎵
John P Hamby iii Think about the word, sentence, phrase or whatever....you know how you would move your mouth and tongue to speak those words. Think of those syllables that break up the words as beats, and the words make up the note structure. This registers in your brain and tells you the message. Why foreign languages sound like garbled nonsense (minus words interchanged as languages move and merge over history; intelligent intelligente). Mimic with whistle. Form of parrot go! Play with whistle like any instrument to develop sound range. Whistle song instruments (theme songs) then attempt to whistle the lyrics. Theory and mastery of the whistle noises will develop. It’s almost as though something keeps us from recognizing this possibility. Meaning: birds dogs crickets cats are talking/communicating. Your rational mind (& perhaps more) have trained you to believe otherwise. Very overwhelming when at once the world noise becomes an actual running feed of info. ***not a joke be careful!!!! feelings and thoughts of insanity can emerge,as well as, losing the ability to concentrate on other goals tasks without isolation from world. This is why people who use drugs (such as speed) can be dismissed, and detained. Then housed for “safety” of all under mental illness themes.
It's quite easy and straightforward, actually. I believe there's an explanation of it on Italki, under "whistling language", or "whistled language", or some such.

Orotava town, North Tenerife, Spain. Hello, sir. I am finally available now again to give lessons and instructions on how to communicate by whistling, in person. Within a week or two I hope to also be available for it on line. I'll be in Emiliano's tavern (Cruz del Teide) this evening from about 1959H, if you want to get started.
Hello, is there a way to learn this? I've been all over the internet and cannot find any type of lessons, do you by chance have a platform where you teach silbo?
Yes sir! Now that I'll finally have some access to the interwebs I'll be able to help you with whatever. Whistle Language is quite easy to learn. 🌹💜🎵🎵🎵
Un detalle histórico, guanches sólo son los aborígenes de Tenerife, los aborígenes de la Gomera se llamaban gomeros, de ahi el nombre de la isla, las demas islas tenian tambien diferentes nombres . Por lo demas, me alegra el interes del silbo fuera de las islas.
Los no gomeros podemos aprender a silbar con un solo dedo (yo ya lo hice) para saludar o llamar la atención a alguien en la lejanía, pero fuera de La Gomera uno no se puede comunicar con nadie como se hace en esta isla. Nadie tiene ni la más remota idea de que esta forma de comunicación exista. Y es una lástima porque el sistema solo son dos vocales y cuatro consonantes para cubrir todos los sonidos. Sí, ya sé que luego, cuando se profundiza en el tema, la cosa se complica, pero ya me entiendes.

@@patchy642 to be honest I do not know much yet. I only know what I have read so far. But that said, no one really explains how they whistle on one knuckle, or with one finger 🤔 a tutorial on that would be great 😃
@@fritzwilhelm8258 Since English and Spanish are very different languages, it would be very difficult to convert something like "El Silbo" for English speaking people, because it all depends on the pronunciation of the words, it is like a strange mimicry of the words only by whistling, using syllables, accents and more things. I don't have an exact explanation of it, but everything depends on the syllables. Besides the fact that in English there are many pronunciations that are similar to each other, and that would be like a maze when it comes to "El Silbo" that would be the biggest challenge a person would have when wanting to speak it in English. I am not saying that it is not impossible to convert "El Silbo" for the English speaking people, but as I said it will be more difficult.
@@mewomao540 I think I know what you're saying. The syllable forms for the Silbo speech are for the formations of the words with Spanish pronunciation, so would not effectively be used for English, like listening to English done with a very heavy accent. Transposing, or re-inventing the vowel forms (different forms) for an English speaker would probably be necessary. Thanks for your time and help.
Hi Patchy! I am a linguistics student at Simon Fraser University in BC, Canada. I am part of a group doing a project on world whistling languages. We would love to interview you about Silbo Gomero if you are available. Please reply if you would be interested in contributing to our study. Thank you.
Now that I've finished most of my prison sentence for growing medicinal hemp, I've been allowed more possibilities to communicate, so I'd be happy to help in any way. It's such an interesting, fun and relatively easy way to communicate. Hit me up whenever. 🌹🍀

@@nickeman132 Yep. Unfortunately most of such supposed studies are completely wrong.
