| Query: |
As a composer I am interested in the tonal aspects of language: in
inflection as a means of imparting shades of meaning; and especially, in languages where tones in and of themselves carry meaning. Some years ago I recall reading of a Whistling Language from the Canary Islands, used in the recent past. I would much appreciate receiving information about recordings of *any* whistling language, and also 'yodelling' languages (if these exist). Please respond to me privately at: jzaimont@worldnet.att.net . All information received will be consolidated and posted to this list at a later date. Thank you.
