well, would be nothing really new, in world war 2 there were special units, their job was to transmit highly sensitive data. instead of using encryption (which was not really secure these days) the members of those units were all american indians of the same tribe talking in their native language...DNR wrote: /// imagine coding software in an exinct language - DNR ///
p.s. I hope nobody from the northern part of bavaria is ever seeing the site, because they label Frankish as extinct language.....and frankish people are known to have a short fuse...
