This is a fascinating part of linguistics that I never knew existed. I wonder if it would be possible to get a whistling system like this to work for English. I wonder if the feasibility of these systems to represent their respective languages is tied to how many sounds are in those languages. I looked it up, and both Spanish and Turkish have fewer sounds than English, but in the case of Turkish, it isn't too many fewer (36 vs 31 according to the source I found).

It definitely isn't superhuman by any means, but I was deeply impressed when I learned about microchess, an early computer chess program that managed to run in 1K of ram in the KIM-1 microcomputer. It's a pretty easy program to beat if you play chess regularly. But if you are the kind of person that only plays chess sporadically and non-seriously, it can give a human a run for their money.
