In a small town in Greece called Antia, shepherds have created an entire language consisting only of whistles! This language, knows as sfyria, has been around for at least 2500 years and yet is one of the most endangered languages in Europe.

I have never heard of this language before! Super interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Languages that lack a writing system are always incredibly vulnerable to extinction, so I'm glad there are those that are looking out for Sfyria!
I'd love to see how well Google Translate deals with a language like that :-D
Good point!
