27、 up villages and planted crops on the steep slopes. But the rough landscape made travel and communication difficult. Shouting over the mountains can damage ones voice, but whistling does not. So some Chinantecs developed a language composed entirely of whistles. It can express almost every word in t
28、heir spoken language. Some scholars think this form of communication dates back to the time of the first language. Chinantecs use different styles of whistling at different distances. The shortest is used face to. A medium-range style can be heard up to 200 meters away. And for long-distance communi
