<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=937211622-22032011>Julien Meyer (<A
href="mailto:julmeyer.lab@gmail.com">julmeyer.lab@gmail.com</A>) is doing
research on whistled forms of languages. Although he is currently working in the
Amazon (he has a post doc with the Museu Paranse Emilio Goeldi, Brasil, and has
formerly worked on a project funded by SOAS), he is interested in the subject
worldwide, and has written to me about whistled languages in Papua New Guinea.
For PNG, there are scattered references to whistled languages in parts of the
Sepik (particularly Torricelli) and the Highlands, but except for a few sources,
my information is very limited.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

knowledge about whistled languages in PNG or other parts of the Pacific, please
communicate directly with Julien.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
