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.
