From a cryptography POV, why were the Navajo code talkers so difficult to decipher?

I had always just believed it was because they were isolated, but I’d been thinking about it lately and that just doesn’t hold up. Can someone familiar with code breaking and encryption help me understand why they were nearly impossible to understand, while almost every other cipher was eventually cracked? Thank you!

I belive it came down to a language barrier. Patterns and knowing a language help break codes. Even if they decoded it they probably wouldnt know what it was saying or know of it was right
