Tradición viva de la cultura canaria y Patrimonio de la Humanidad  uhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/extart?codigo=2296418  a31-430 v53 aThe Silbo Gomero is a substitute, a contracted form, spontaneous and a non-conventional language. It is able to transmit and to interchange a limitless range of messages over long distances by means of whistles, being reproduced by the sonorous characteristics of a spoken language. At the present time this primary language is the Spanish spoken in the Canary Islands. Government of Canary has recently implemented a large number of activities which started with the intention to show the Silbo Gomero as an artistic source and to encourage scientific research on this whistled language. One of the most significant measures taken by General Direction for Cooperation and Cultural Patrimony has to do with a proposal to UNESCO in order to consider the Silbo Gomero as a Master Piece of the Oral and Intangible World Heritage.  a1695-7121
