The use of whistled language between Mazatec Natives of Oaxaca, Mexico serves as a functional means of communication, generally used to convey messages across distances. Mazateco people use these whistles as symbols, each with their own semantic meaning and literal, direct translations used along with typical spoken language. Whistled language connects members and allows them to communicate and express messages that are meaningful to only them. Research and ethnographic data collected helps us identify and explain the ways in which verbal and customary lore come together to form expressive communication between the Mazatec natives and human beings in general.
