Who wrote this page? Can the author leave a note at my user page thefamouseccles? I've always wanted to know something about the Silbo, but I can't find anything in the literature. Thanks! thefamouseccles

Can you provide a written transcription of this language? Scott Gall 01:48, 2005 May 8 (UTC)

I really believe that the "transcription" of Silbo is just written Spanish. Try listening to this: http://www.uwnews.org/relatedcontent/2005/January/rc_parentID7171_thisID7264.wav

It's Silbo for "Domingo is sick". Now, in Spanish this phrase would be "Domingo estás enfermo". With a little imagination, you can hear the phonemes of that phrase being whistled instead of spoken! Devil Master 21:03, 15 Jul 2005 (MET)

Actually is "Domingo ESTÁ enfermo". Or "OIO EÁ EEO" ;-) --Pinzo 01:19, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
