If a person is missing their tongue for whatever reason, can they still perform an ordinary whistle? I don't mean a whistle where they use their fingers. But the regular pucker whistle.

no, i don't think so. your tongue kind of acts like a reed.

No, they cannot. Because you do regular pucker whistle, you have to move your tongue, so that the air passing out from the vocal cord is directed towards the lips. The lips at a specific shape, can cause a sharp whistle. Therefore, w/o tongue, they cannot whistle.

If a person don't have a tongue, he can still perform an ordinary whistle because just by blowing the whistle it can create a sound.It's nt the tongue who creates the sound but the whistle itself.....

How Can You Whistle

yup. a whistle is the passing of air through the lips. you need to make the correct size hole and the passing of air. neither of these tasks require a tongue!
