Navajo Code Talkers Dictionary
 
Revised 15th June 1945 (Declassified in 1968 under Department of Defense Directive 5200.9)

During WWII the Code Talker's primary task was to talk in their native language, transmitting information on tactics, troop movements, orders and other vital battlefield information through telegraphs and radios. A major advantage of the code talker system was its speed, the method of using Morse code often took hours whereas the Navajo's could handle a message in minutes.

The Navajo's unwritten language was understood by fewer than 30 non-Navajo's at the time of WWII. The size and complexity of the language made the code extremely difficult to comprehend, much less decipher.
