I live in Spain and I have a friend who knows "silbo", he says that it's easy to learn, but I think that he always says the same when he's "silbing" >:)

Taking into account that I haven't checked out the web site...
Is this a joke or is it for real?

And keep in mind, that there are "schools" that teach Klingon! >:)

It's real. Look at the wikipedia article:

Yodeling was a way of communicating in the mountains as well before it became a way of "singing"

I wonder if a wolf whistle has the same meaning? If so #6 might want to 'strike up a conversation' with 0:35 :D

I was on holidays in La Gomera and there was a woman directly across the road from our villa who would communicate with her husband using this language.
It was awesome.
Great that it's being taught in the schools now because then they were worried it was dying out.
