Description: Whistled languages offer a natural laboratory for studying how human speech can be acoustically reduced yet remain intelligible. This interdisciplinary workshop explores their phonetic, phonological, and neurocognitive dimensions across the world—from Greek Sfyria to Silbo Gomero and Tashlhiyt Berber. By integrating acoustic analysis, typology, and recent EEG and behavioral findings, the meeting investigates how left- and right-hemispheric processes cooperate in decoding melodic s
