Why were Navajos used as code talker?

Not just Navajos were used as "code talkers" - many native Americans were used in this way. The point was that at that time native American languages were not widely known or studied outside the USA (and not even widely known inside the USA). These languages included Cherokee, Choctaw, Lakota, Comanche, Meskwaki and others. The last Lakota code talker, Clarence Wolf Guts, died in 2010.in addition, the Navajo language contains many sounds that are not easily written using English, German or Japanese writing - there are many very difficult sounds that most people can not even pronounce correctly, such as ł, tłʼ and gh.For native Japanese speakers these sounds are totally alien and impossible to write using any native Japanese system, making the breaking of the code far more difficult than many other systems.


What is the native language maeans to the europeans?

Your native language is the language you learned as a child. The Europeans have no native language. Instead, people in Europe have a number of native languages. Most people on this earth learn two or three languages. That way they can communicate with their closest neighbors. England used to have a great commercial empire. They spread their language far and wide. It became convenient for people to learn English to trade with the English. People who traded with the English and Americans could then use English to trade with each other. English became an important language for world business. Each country kept its native language. Each of the 28 nations of the European Common Market have all of its documents translated into its native language. That means there are 28 different translations done of every document. Most of the work of the Common Market is done in a language derived from English. It uses a simplified vocabulary and is developing its own idioms. Americans can easily understand it but have not been trained in using it. In America, the Indians spoke their native language. They now learn English. Many of them still speak their native language.


What is the Cherokee's name for Kim?

It is still KIM - Native languages do not have self describing nouns which is a Christian / European tradition. Using its origin, KIM is short for KIMBERLY, KIMBERLY is short for Lord Kimberly, and his name is tied to a place (Cyneburga's field) which would have no definition in any Native Language.
