Birdly
Birdly is a whistled language originating from the mountainous area's of northern Ghynzua. It was later adapted by The Order of Seykin to communicate with each other without anyone realizing there is communication happening. The language resembles the singing of birds so much that people who don't know better do not realize it is a communication between two people.
History
Birdly was adapted from Old Birdly around 2000 AP. It has since been changed so much from the original language that the two are now so far apart that an Old Birdly whistler can not understand a New Birdly whistler. And vice versa. The original whistle language developed in the northern mountains of Ghynzua. It was the ideal way to communicate over long distances since whistling can carry much further than spoken words. Furthermore, while yelling words quickly becomes difficult to understand over a long distance, whistling does not have that problem. The language can carry over distances of 3 to 4 km and still be completely understandable.
Seykin Birdly
Seykin often start their first training during their childhood. It is during that time where much of their training is focused on knowledge, memory, strength, agility, and such that they start to learn the basics of Birdly. Only later do they learn a wider vocabulary. It is vital for the order to make sure the secret of their communication does not become public. Sharing information about this language with anyone outside the order is seen as illegal and will result in immediate action.
Uses
Birdly is mostly used during missions. This can be a seykin mole, stationed in a place they need to spy on, reporting in secret to an accomplish who is far away. Or it can be two seykin sneaking up on a target in a forest. Birdly has many uses.
I could hear birds singing the night Master Guyno was murdered. Was it a sign by Ama, or perhaps Seycha herself?

Knocking it out of the park!! Is it similar to why yodelling started or am I stretching for things?
Thank you. If you look up Silbo Gomero you will learn abut the inspiration for this language. I learned about it several years ago so I knew I wanted a whistled language for my protagonist. And well, this was my poor attempt at writing that down. :D
I am looking going to look at it now! Hugs I am glad you got to write it, it is an excellent article!
