    The world would actually be a better place if we all could speak one language irrespective of that one language. This quote means nothing, it just sounds nice. ADDITION: In your original post you stated that this was ethnocentric. I haven't judged any culture as inferior or superior. I haven't even suggested which language should be the singular language. I purposely avoided that in fact. Maybe you realized this so you edited it out.

I think it is wonderful we have diversity in this world and a little bit of something different... even if it's just a language... to call our own in a vast universe. Plus it gets ppl interested in learning other languages. That's like saying this world would be better if we only ate Chinese food or listened to classic rock. But i respectfully disagree with ur statement as mine is just an opinion as well. I do understand why it seems the world would be better under one language...i feel it would be easier but not better

    @@melissadavidson5024 What you said sounds beautiful, you even used the magic "diversity" word. A common language would allow people to communicate thoughts and ideas. It would allow people to correct misconception and solve social problems without interpretation. It would allow business to operate without the language barrier. There is a reason why there is something called "the language barrier". When you go through the act of interpretation, which I do in a number of meetings throughout the week, there is something lost in that translation. Also, Do you feel like you are eating one type of food when you listen to music/song, just because it is all in one language. An honest answer is "no". It is efficient. These are objective reasons why one language would be better. It is not an opinion. It is truth.

The first inhabitants of the canary islands came from the north of Africa, and even after the spanish conquest there are few things that still remains from before, as the names of people and places between many other things. But sylbo is only present on the island of La Gomera as far as i know...sometimes you can hear someone whistling on other islands but you tend to find out that those who whistle were born in La Gomera or have family on it. So if Sylbo has the possibility to come from Africa, it amazes me how can remain only on one island among other seven even when its one of the smallest and remote from Africa.

    Vics TV if you know Spanish, it’s not that hard. They are speaking Spanish but with whistles. Once you understand the tones for the vowels and the sounds of the consonants is not complicated anymore. I don’t speak silbo gomero but I’m a native Spanish speaker and after hearing a lot of phrases translate to whistles, it totally makes sense and you can comprehend some words! It’s truly amazing

    I found this video while looking up "La Gomera" upon a suggestion from another viewer. We're on another channel talking about a method of communication used by a fictitious group of Luddites in the video game "The Last of Us, Part II", known as the Seraphites. This viewer mentioned to me that they were influenced by "La Gomera" (not knowing the name of the language is called Sylbo; I had no idea either). Later on, I found a post by another viewer who said that the sound designers at Naughty Dog (the developers of the game) wanted to make the Seraphite's whistles more eerie, so they made them more minimalist...and it totally worked. This "lost" language is just utterly fascinating, wow. So distinctively unique, for sure. Thanks for posting this! Cheers.

    Why is it hard? If there are say 100 distinct tones/whistles, then each tone can be assigned a letter. Or it could be a logographic writing system like Chinese/kanji. Tones are not so different from the normal English sounds coming from your throat (except of course that it is tedious). If one is possible to write, other should be as well.

    Steve Rogers Is there a university preserving this language? I don't think so. Universities preserve languages that have value as a national heritage and languages that had a big historical influence. The small indigenous languages like this one and many other tribal languages are left to the mercy of time, and we all know how merciful time is :) P.S. I'm talking about a concentrated international effort. A place with a council with seats for every nation, a place where no language will get overlooked, no matter how small and insignificant it is.
