My understanding is that the "code-talkers" just
translated the English messages into Navaho and talked
normally to each other, relying on the obscurity
and difficulty of Navaho to stymie the Japanese
(or Germans?) who were listening in.  Any obscure
natlang or a priori conlang could work the same way;
preferably some language about which nothing has
been published in your enemy's language.
