Best Answer

Bilingual Navajo speakers were recruited. They invented the code together and also the writing system that was used.

Much of it was a spelling code with several different options in Navajo for each letters in English. For example: the letter "c", cow starts with c. Cow in Navajo is beegashi. Also cat, cat in Navajo is moashi. Either could be used. Other parts of the code were substitutions for common words like different birds for different planes.
