A "code talker" is a person who can communicate secrets during wartime using a language that isn't commonly known; the term is most strongly associated with the Navajo language, which was used as a code language by the U.S. Marines during WWII. Combined with the fact that Code Talker's English voice and mocap actor, Jay Tavare, is himself Navajo, it seems like a pretty safe bet that the character Code Talker is a Navajo who was a code talker during WWII. The nationalities are different, but that would make Code Talker and Vulcan Raven both Native American - a tennuous connection to be sure, if not for the fact that there is a corresponding tennuous connection for each of Phantom Pain's other new characters and a Son of Big Boss.
