How does a mouth whistle work?

When you whistle, you create a space in your mouth with a hole at each end: one at the back, where the tongue pushes against the roof of your mouth and leaves a small gap, and one at the front, where you purse your lips. When you exhale, a thin jet of fast air whooshes in from the hole at the back.
