I’ve updated the link from your original post to reference a “more permanent CNN article”:http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/11/16/offbeat.save.the.whistle.ap/, hopefully based on the same source.

“A few months ago”:http://www.globalspin.com/mt/archives/000184.html was, like, 15 months ago. Oh well.

Oh, phoo. I read this earlier and then decided not to post anything because I have a vague memory of posting something about Silbo a few months ago. I have (used to have?) a great Jacques Cousteau documentary that discussed dolphin whistles as a potential form of communication, then showed people using Silbo to demonstrate that whistling languages do exist.
