Aussie whistle makers hide in the mountain
Irish whistle makers abide by the fountain
Scottish whistle makers swear a lot
Indian whistle makers are very hot

And half Indian whistle players love tacos with taco-bell sauce.

"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

And some wish they hadn't :)
Up the morn the auld wife raise,
And at her leasure pat on her claiths;
Syne to the servants bed she gaes,
To speer for the silly poor man.
One of my fave scottish songs, "the Gaberlunzie man" :)
All the best!

CULTURAL DIFFERENCES

In English we play an instrument wheras in Hindi the verb play is not used for performing on instruments. There is a special verb for that which could be literally translated as musics.

English:- I played my flute
Hindi:- I musicked my flute.

How about some other languages?

Of course not. It does not appear that you have understood my post.
I said there is a "special verb" for playing as in music. This implies that the verb used specifically for play as in playing soccer and other games is not used for music. It does not imply that there is no verb for play in the ordinary sense as in playing soccer and other games. That's why I said "special verb" for the other application.

I think also in some latin origin languages (italien, spanish) the verb play is not used for instruments.

If my high school Spanish still serves me, in Spanish you jugar a game, but you tocar an instrument.

More than you ever wanted to know about jugando and tocando
