1. Why isn't it in Navajo? |
|
Or does Navajo have a written language?

Navajo doesn't have a written component. During WWII, Navajos were used as "code talkers" in the Pacific so the Japanese couldn't figure out what the US was doing.

4. Well, no, Navajo does have a written language, |
|
but the code was based solely on the spoken language, which has several levels of complexity found in few other languages. :)

5. Thanks for the clarification |
|
I remembered the use of Navajo had something to do with it not being written down. I just didn't know there were several levels to it. :)
Herk on!
