That's a clever way to do it.

I don't know why governments have never thought of using conlangs for cyphers. America's use of Navajo in WWII is the only one that hasn't been some form of messing with the letters of the language they speak anyway.

Something to that effect, though with whatever language it is's materials for learning a government secret.

HAHA nice

That was actually one of my original purposes for making Aert - the simplest natural-sounding language I could. Of course, after that came the "I don't like this part," the "oh I forgot about this in languages" and so on until now, and it's still changing lol

I have to agree though - a simple conlang would be ideal for military use. Especially since one wouldn't really need to learn the grammar since they use so many codewords that stand for phrases anyways.

I would imagine the conlang would be the same order (SVO, etc) as the language used by the country, as well as most other aspects. However, some would be changed around for ease and quickness of speech. Ideally, the shouted commands etc would be very short, as well as basic field commands.

And in todays tech-oriented war, since these would most often be bounced through satellites etc, they could encrypt them with an RSA4096 or something Twisted Evil
