Silbo Gomero, Sfyria and other whistling languages

Is there any user who can teach me some basics of a whistling language like Silbo Gomero, Sfyria or Kuş dili? I once found a teacher who seemed to teach a whistling language. But he only listed it as „other“ and now I can’t find him anymore. I just need some basic insight into this kind of languages.

At this moment, as I write this comment, this posting has two downvotes.

This is ludicrous.

There is no reason, absolutely no reason, to downvote this discussion.

May the fingers of the downvoters whither and fall off... :)

Thanks, a lot! Yes, that was him! I’ll contact him.

@Richard

Yeah, I don’t know. There seem to be some people who downvote whatever I post. Even if it’s completely inoffensive and not even something one could disagree on.

For the record, of course I checked if there were teachers or language partners listed under „Silbo Gomero“ or „Sfyria“ and there was no single person listed with these languages. How about the downvoters care to explain what’s so offensive about my posts or if they simply don’t like my nose?

Yeah, speakers of that languages use whistling to communicate over long distances, for instance between two mountains: <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistled_language" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistled_language</a>;.

Here are some examples:

Hi Miriam, I think you might be talking about Patchy (www.italki.com/teacher/4276448).

P. S. I agree it's a shame people have to use this "Other" option for some languages...

@Miriam, no problem and good luck :) Oh, so they added Silbo Gomero to the list of languages! I remember it wasn't an option some time ago. Good to know.
