Musical languages are constructed languages based on musical sounds, which tend to incorporate articulation. Whistled languages are dependent on an underlying spoken languages and are used in various cultures as a means for communication over distance, or as secret codes. The mystical concept of a language of the birds tries to connect the two categories, since some authors of musical a priori languages have speculated about a mystical or primeval origin of the whistled languages.
There are only a few language families as of now such as the Solresol language family, Moss language family, and Nibuzigu language family.
The Solresol family is a family of a posteriori languages (usually English) where a sequence of 7 notes of the western C-Major scale or the 12 tone chromatic scale are used as phonemes.
Kobaïan is a language constructed by Christian Vander of the band Magma, which uses elements of Slavic and Germanic languages,[3] but is based primarily on 'sonorities, not on applied meanings'.[4]
