Human language.
The Navajo people, being one race in a species of many intelligent, modern Homosapiens, communicated as we still do today with sophisticated language.
Navajo people exist right now, especially in North America. Most all of them speak English, but many thousands of them also speak the old Navajo tongue.
I have to believe that the Navajo are, and were, very much like the rest of us in the ways that matter most. In love, justice, religion, art, science, culture, and ambition they dominated their world in their own time. They could not have accomplished it without language.

∙ 9y agoThe US Military used the Navajo codetalkers to transmit messages in battle across the Pacific against Japan. The code was a substitution code using the Navajo language as it's base. A typical code would spell out a word or substitute a English word for a Navajo one. If it was spelling out and the English word started with A the coder would choose one of three English words that started with a, in this case "ant", red ant in Navajo is wóláchíí, so the coder would say that. (the marks are high tone marks, Navajo is a tonal language like Chinese). This code proved to be much faster than machine or code book codes and more accurate. It was never broken and was declassified in 1968. Code talkers could not even tell their families what they had done until that time, 23 years after the war.
