In Meghalaya's East Khasi Hills, Kongthong village practices a unique tradition where residents communicate through melodious tunes instead of names. Known as 'jingrwai lawbei', each person's identity is a distinct melody inspired by nature, passed down through generations. This whistling language reflects a deep connection with their environment, attracting global interest and recognition, including a nod from the UNWTO for its cultural significance and potential for sustainable tourism.
