as I understand it
the secret to the Navajo Code Talkers was not that it used a language not known to many outside of the tribe but that it was a code within that language
knowing the word used was " turtle " in English did not reveal what was meant by " turtle "
I have heard that the hardest " code " to break is a " book " code where each party to the code needs the same book, the same printing of it and the knowledge of how to use it to decipher the message encoded
of course, my information is probably out dated
