Oddest book titles

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 13:20:00 +0530

I Was Tortured By the Pygmy Love Queen

Generally whistled languages emulate the intonation, tones or vowel formants, and prosody of a natural language so that speakers of that language can recognize the speech melody of what is being said and thus understand the whistled speech. Whistled language is rare compared to spoken language, but it is found in cultures around the world.
