You said that the Vietnamese is tonal and if you mistake the tone you change
the meaning of your words. Recently I saw a documental in the History
Channel about the Navajo code, the one who allowed the Americans to win the
WW2 in the Pacific, and one linguist said the same about the Navajo
language: you mistook a tone and you are meaning something else. The
situation got worse because the navajo was not a written language, only an
spoken language. Addittionally, I would like to ask to the GI Korean
veterans: Was used the Navajo Code in Korea too?
