"Toronto whistler blows past the competition at international contest", Toronto Star (May 3, 2013). On La Gomera, one of Spain's Canary Islands, a traditional whistled language, Silbo Gomero, is still used. At least nine separate whistling sounds are used to produce usually four vowels and five consonants, allowing this language to convey unlimited words. The language allowed people (such as shepherds) to communicate over long distances in the island, when other communication means were not available. It is now taught in school so that it is not lost among the younger generation. Another group of whistlers were the Mazateco Indians of Oaxaca, Mexico. Their whistling aided in conveying messages over far distances but was used also in close quarters as a unique form of communication with a variety of tones. [8]
One of the most well known whistling competitions is the International Whistlers Convention (IWC). This annual event has taken place in Louisburg, North Carolina, from 1973 to 2013. The awards go to whistlers ranging from international male and female, teenage male and female, and even grandchildren. It has been customary for the governor of North Carolina to sign a declaration declaring the week of the IWC as "Happy Whistlers Week", for citizens and visitors to honor the art of whistling and to participate in the scheduled events.
