Comment on Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years?

  The Navajo did pretty well in WWII

  Time to put my Chinese language skills to work?

  English + Mandarin (Pinyin) + Cantonese (Jyutping) = ???

  Canto-Mandar-lish? 🤔

  Actually it might work. You’d need to understand 3 languages to decipher it.

  Does the NSA/FSB/CCP have tri-lingual speakers? 🤔

  Maybe I should learn some Navajo to add more fun to the mix? 😁

    Learn Navajo and ancient Babylonian. Write everything in a custom pidgin of Mandarin, Navajo, and ancient Babylonian.

  Theoretically, if you made a new language based on English symbols, is it still just a cipher?
