  Code talker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Code talkers were Native American soldiers serving in the U.S. forces who primarily transmitted secret tactical messages over military telephone or radio communications nets using formal or informally developed codes utilizing their native languages.
As the war progressed the baseline codes nouns, verbs and descriptive nomenclatures were added on too and incorporated program wide, and in other instances informal short cut code words were devised for a particular campaign and not disseminated beyond the area of operation.
To ensure that a consistent use of code terminologies were used Pacific Theater wide, representative code talkers of each of the U.S. Marine divisions met in Hawaii to discuss shortcomings in the code and incorporated new terms into the system and update their codebooks.
