Welsh was used in WWII, but not widely. The RAF were planning on using Welsh further, but this was never implemented.

Wikipedia lists various languages either used for, or were possibilities for, code talking. The US used more than just Navajo during WWII, and more than just Choctaw in WWI.

The Egyptians apparently used Nubian-speakers as code talkers during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.
Hey! Navajo words are much longer than Welsh ones.
Code talking became practical with radio and voice radio did not come until after WW1. Then, it wasn't long after WW2 that cryptography and more sophisticated codes would have made it obsolete.
If it can't be decoded within hours, that's secure enough for tactical use, the way the US used the Code Talkers. For longer term messages that retain importance past an hour or so, you want a really secure code.. I am not sure if any of them are as well suited to code-talking as Navajo, however (Navajo is an incredibly complex language which is not mutually intelligible even with its closest linguistic relatives; in addition, it was an unwritten language at the time, had numerous dialects, and less than 30 non-Navajo could understand the language at the start of WW2).

... Germans assumed enigma couldn't be cracked, not just in a timely manner, but for a very long time, so used for both tactical and strategic.
IMO, they would have been better served by using Karl May paperbacks as one time pads.
