A body ay th' key characteristics ay leid is 'at it’s constantly evolvin'. A human invention, leid adapts tae th' requirements ay th' fowk fa spick it.
An interestin' evolution has occurred in la gomera, a wee islain aff th' coest ay morocco. In thes canary islain plagued wi' geographical difficulties, spanish was fur some time transformed intae silbo gomero, a whistled version ay th' castilian leid. Silbo gomero was developed as an efficient way ay communication athwart th' moontains. wi' it much effort, a bodie usin' silbo can transmit a message athwart tois ur mair miles.
Originally, silbo consisted in whistlin' th' vowels ay th' natife african leid used in th' islain. Efter th' invasion ay th' spaniards, th' inhabitants ay la gomera simply adapted their silbo tae spanish.
Silbo gomero served tois main purposes in th' pest, tae communicate fowk ower distances an' tae encrypt secrets frae foreigners. Wi' th' widespreid arrival ay technology an' th' democratization ay spain, silbo is nae longer a necessity an' its use has declined tae th' point ay near-extinction. however, interest in silbo is bein' renewed as th' local authorities see it as a valuable cultural trait an' hae incentivized public schools ay la gomera tae make silbo a compulsory subject.
Personally, Ah hae hud contact wi' somethin' similar tae silbo in th' colombian montes de maria, whaur every cowboy has his ain scream 'at can be heard ben th' moontains. these powerful screams ur particular tae each individual an' hearin' them is quite somethin'. also, fowk frae ootwith th' region seem tae be mechanically incapable ay producin' sic' peculiar soonds. similar things ur said abit th' bushmen’s click leid an' abit silbo gomero. some fowk see potential economic ur scientific applications fur these types ay quirky dialects. Ah jist hink they ur stoat.
