If you pick an existing rare language and learn it, what is to stop the Snoopers from doing the same? If you invent the language, how can you make sure it is both sufficiently expansive and different from known languages as to be indecipherable yet sufficiently easy and relevant to modern life as to be learnable? </div>

Create it, upload it to the computers to be used which then translate it into whatever language you need. As for how to go about creating it, I dunno. I'd just find a linguist who knew many languages and create one that did not follow any of the rules commonly used in them</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0);display:inline">so that there would not be any way a decoder could tell if a word was a noun, verb, whatever. You could put in all sorts of things, like every 5th sentence is reversed, or scramble them further with a random numbers table. To be used only for ultrasecret communications, not everyday use - unless you are a government or industrial spy. Sounds good to me but then I am no computer geek at all.<br>
