A code talker was a person employed by the military during wartime to use a little-known language as a means of secret communication. The term is most often used for United States service members during the World Wars who used their knowledge of Native American languages as a basis to transmit coded messages. In particular, there were approximately 400 to 500 Native Americans in the United States Marine Corps whose primary job was to transmit secret tactical messages. Code talkers transmitted messages over military telephone or radio communications nets using formally or informally developed codes built upon their indigenous languages. The code talkers improved the speed of encryption and decryption of communications in front line operations during World War II and are credited with some decisive victories. Their code was never broken.
It wasn’t just a little known language; its nature made it uniquely incomprehensible when encoded. The Japanese even had captured Navajo who weren’t code talkers who couldn’t help decode the messages even if they wanted to.

That was the basis of the Nic Cage movie Windtalkers

Also The X-Files. The truth is out there, but only in Navajo Edition.

If it exists, there’s a Nic Cage movie about it
Peter Stormare trying to speak with a thick Texas accent is the worst acting I have ever seen. I mean that.
