Hello, I am Basque and I want to clarify that Basque has been around the planet for more than 15 thousand years, being one of the oldest living languages. That's why it doesn't sound like most languages, this one was created long before language families were established.
I lived in Hondarribia in 1958-1961 at Villa Usoa across from the park bear Statue-Park of Swans near the entrance arch of the old city. I was around 5 -7 years old Spoke Spanish, French sang Basque songs. The Fisherman had such beautiful voices came to our door at Christmas and my Father recorded them on our Reel to Reel recorder. Thank you for bringing this video. I lived a beautiful life the was bike riding along the Seawall, walked up the Pyrenees. People gave us baby chicks and rabbits even pesetos. They were very kind to children.
@@Deadly_fox512 it’s an isolate language is far separate from any other language and internationally. Speaking is only spoken in the southern region of Spain and France. I’ve nearly understood a entire coercive conversation wall understanding the language it’s not even close to Spanish and it’s not even close to French. Well I take that back some words are very much like a combination between understanding certain fragments of the language but it’s nowhere near close to Spanish, because Spanish itself is entirely different and it’s a lot more complexing because baskets self is much more different in Spanish and it has very different routes history that we probably will never know because of the fact that it’s very similar to languages that are in the caucasian area similar to Georgian Armenian and church in those languages are nowhere near close to them selves they don’t sound exactly the same. They’re very different languages that have very different history and agriculture and diversity‘s.
It sounds like Spanish, but I looked at the grammar structure in a different youtube video and I was so surprised how the grammar structure is almost exactly the same as the Korean language. The definite article for the subject word (a), where the article [a] comes after each noun, ending of the verb [da], and where all the verbs are at the back (which is totally backward from western languages). I've seen a documentary claiming that there were ancient Koreans who moved to that region. They also have the huge stone tombs (megalith) up in the Pyrenees mountain which looks exactly the same as the ancient Korean tomb. Tombs are important cultural relic that indicates cultural significance.
Any Spanish and French speaker will hear words in Euskara that they recognize, depending what side of the mountains they are on. Because the Basque have adopted words from the languages because it has many words for things that Euskara does not contain.
Please make a video on the Burusho people, and also please make a detailed video on the Dards this includes the Kashmiri, Broqpa, Shin, Kho, Kalasha, Nuristani, and Pashayis and also includes some smaller ethnicities that live in the KPK province of Pakistan such as the Torwali, Palula, Gawri, Chiliso, Bateri, Dameli, Kalkoti, Gawar-Bati, Gowro, Kamviri, Kati, and Ushoji peoples.
@F.W. No you misread, I meant a detailed video on the Dards, the Burusho though being a separate linguistic group are basically culturally Dards as well. I am Half Shin and Half Burusho myself.
My grandmother who died before I was born grew up on a Chickasaw Nation Res in Okla. We just assumed she was Chickasaw but recently we discovered someone from her family side and found out they were French Basque. Now how they ended up on reservation is a mystery.
Basque women are pre-Indo-European, like a good part of European women. The Swedes differ from the Italians more by mom than by dad. The Basques speak a pre-Indo-European language like the Etruscans... And like them, the Basque male is Indo-European with an archaic R1B gene variant originated in the Spanish Levant.
I am currently listening to the audiobook of the history book called the Basque history of the world. Utterly fascinating. I can’t put it down. Basque people were present for many of their historical events that we know today but they were always sort of in the background kind of like Forrest Gump.
They had an own language with the influence or Latin! There are some words that an Italian or Spanish can perfectly understand! Basques and the Albanians both are the 2 most ancient Europeans! There is a connection between the both... They represent the roots of Europe!!!
@@Pao234_ Actually it is only a supposition because the language similarities this is never proven yet... Still historically and archeologically Basques and ancient Albanians are the oldest Europeans... The europeans existed bevor Indians... Now there is the theory that all 3 main Human-"Races" have separated ancestors (and half common ancestry) The Europeans; The Asiatics; The Africans! Europeans are half Homo sapiens from Africa and half Neanderthalensis; Asiatic are a mix of Eropean and if I'm not wrong the Denisowans... Indoeuropean doesn't necessarily means you have to come from Indian continent it's just a term used because there are linguistic similarities... Actually somewhere I read that the Sanscript could be born in Europe and than landed to India... There are a lot of ??? to be yet cleared... About Albanian they were always there and the mystery is that there were no traces founded that they where moved from/to the area... that's why the Indoeuropean theory isn't seen anymore as stable as before, there are still doubts about this concept...
@Hildegard Europeans (and some middle easterners) are generally 1-3% Neanderthal, not 50% :P But I get what you're saying. Edit: Also, populations travelled out of Africa to the Middle East, then some went to Europe, some went to Asia, etc. This is an extreme simplification of the history of human migration of course, but it's thought that both Europeans and Asians descend from people who had come out of Africa into the ME (ie. Asians are not descended from Europeans). There is evidence of small amounts of Denisovan admixture in SE Asia and Oceana.
Been searching for my family’s origin and found I got blood ties to basque with also my last name deriving from there can’t wait to learn more about the culture 🙏🏽
It’s sounds to me like a mixture of Catalan Spanish Dialect and possibly Scandinavian Dialects. I was hoping you would do a video of the Gitanos or Gypsies of Southern Spain. This is part of my blood and culture. I can’t tell you how much I wish to go back to Andalusia one day. My wife is from the Azores and we go back there from time to time. So one day I will go back but in the meantime can you please do one on the Gitanos! ✌🏽🙏
@@NippleTwistersUnited Partially derived? Maybe but most non-native speakers will recognise Basque as different from Spanish because of its distinct consonants, whose pronunciation is closer to those of Slavic consonants. The vowels in Basque can sound similar to those in Spanish, but beyond a volume of borrowed words, the Basque language remains uniquely its own. So maybe Scandinavian dialects was off just a bit as I meant more Slavic. What is certain is that the Basque people are one of the oldest ethnic groups in Europe and their language appears to have developed in relative isolation from the waves of migration that influenced so many European languages. Also the Basque language is considered the last remaining descendant of one of the pre-Indo-European languages of Western Europe. I can remember hearing about when this language was outlawed by the Spanish dictator Franco. I had arrived and lived in Spain for a few years in the mid to late 1980’s. Such a beautiful country and peoples. Oh and the food????? OMG next level delicious!
@@Knuckledragnation I was doing some research about that and they were saying it's similar to Chechnyas language. So far they haven't found enough proof to discredit the fact that's its so unique so that's fascinating
Some of the words sound very similar to romanian and I don't mean the latin words which the romans brought, but the old dacian words. I researched a bit and found many words being almost the same as in romanian. Very interesting. It's also interesting that basque people have a tradition of composing poems spontaniously just as my grandfather used to say they did in his village here in Romania, people used to speak in rhymes made up spontaniously all the time, many of them being joyful or funny. Only when it was something serious to discuss or if something bad happened, would they speak normally. His village was Faget in Alba county.
Intonationwise, it sounds mostly like Castilian Spanish, as both languages have been in contact for centuries. Euskara has some specific sounds which are not found in Spanish though.
Sounds like Spanish, but with a Russian/Ukrainian twist. I was intrigued bc my DNA said 5%, yet no one I knew what Basque was. This is all very interesting
It sounds like a blend of Portuguese, Russian, and like some Franco-germanic language like Dutch or Swiss or something. Mainly like Portuguese and Russian/a "Spanish /Iberian" type of Latin language blended with a Slavic type of language. I was thinking Spanish and Russian at first, but after listening a few times, yeah, I stick with Portuguese and Russian, with a hint (a _"splash"_ lol) of Dutch or Swiss.
The flow and vowel sounds make it sound Castilian like, but I can also notice a lot more of the words end in consonants then any latin languages which also give it more of a Slavic feel in that regard almost
I keep seeing people saying Spanish, but the issue here is that a lot of Bosque speakers mostly speak Spanish day-to-day because it is pretty much discouraged despite what people say to speak the language it was banned for awhile too because simply having a basque name could have someone jailed.
Since it is spoken mostly in Spain, where the major language is Castilian Spanish, Basque sounds mostly just like Spanish to the untrained ear, but when you look more into the grammar and etymology you realise it doesn’t have anything in common with Spanish
Did a DNA test a couple weeks ago. Came back 42% indigenous American which didn't Suprise me at all, what did Suprise me was the rest of my supposed DNA. It came back as 25% Spanish 10% Portuguese and 10% Basque then also come back with 3% of French and Welsh DNA. My Father told me my grandmother came from Spain and that they were Spanish. Most likely they were one of the many Ethnic minority groups in Spain who were prosecuted under Franco with this newfound Knowledge though ive been learning more about Portuguese and Baque culture. Its always nice to learn about your Heritage.
It had a pidgin in North Eastern Canada called Algonquin-Basque Pidgin in the 16th century. The Mi'kmaq for instance still have some loan words from that dialect like their word for the country of France which comes from the basque word.
It still has a Latin accent similar to Italian although I doubt they're speaking Italian. It also sounds like fancy Spanish i wouldn't say it is unrelated to any other language though I did hear the young lady say the word culture and motivate, also catholic
Unrelated to any Indo-European language but replete with borrowings from Spanish and French I’m sure. Those I heard. It also borrowed PHONEMES from Spanish which come through strongly.
Portuguese and italian are romance/latin languages. I'm portuguese and I can't understand anything they say, so no, not like portuguese at all. Maybe the pacing, the rythm, but the rest is alien to me. Cheers
Basques are the least mixed ethnic groups in spain they have relatively low to no north african ancestry especially in the most secluded villages of basque country besides the north african influx throughout thousands of years . They actually have more celtic and Germanic ( franks ) than anything due to pre roman celts moving through Europe and later franks and other europeans arriving and settling in basque areas during the middle ages .
not to sound romantic or allegorical but when the Romans brought their Latin language to Basquelands, some of the ancestors of modern day Basques tried to speak it , Castilian ( Spanish) come out. I’d ever dare to say that the Castilian Spanish language inherited the phonetical system of the Basque language.
Some one may say the opposite , that the south Caucasusian laguages, Geogian et al are all Basque. How ever no scholar has yet found any evidence or proof of any alleged connection
I’ve actually learned some of the Basque language, and the phonemes that are used are very similar to the surrounding dominant, Indo European languages of French and Castillion Spanish it’s inevitable. There’s also a lot of Latin language influences in Basque, because of who they had to interface with. But their phono tactics and grammar and vocabulary are all unique to their language Somewhere there are videos postulating at the Basque. People came from Anatolia add the Caucus mountains long ago we not do the language with De Lou, similar family practices and spiritual beliefs, along with artistic motifs There’s been cultural exchanges between people in Armenia and people in the bass country, where they seem to recognize each other Considering the number of people that came out of Anatolia to mix with the western hunter gatherers, it doesn’t surprise me
It sounds like hungarian and both are agglutinative. I have discussed the Sumerian origins with a hungarian scientist. He told me that Sumerian and Hungarian are 53 percent similar and second is Turkish with 37 percent. Also, some hungarian philologs can read Etruscan in hungarian language. I think Etruscan, Basq, Hungarian, Sumerian, Turkish etc. agglutinative languages are relative languages.
Obviously sounds like a mix of French and Spanish with a little bit of Portuguese. Also the sounds she makes kinda sound like the way the Aztec would make at the end of a word
Standardised Basque obviously sounds like Spanish, considering the language wasn't standardised until the 70s, but before that the language sounded very unique, of course with different sounds for different dialects.

Basque must be declared as endangered and official language of Europe along with other official languages.
Basque is one of the official languages in Spain
Any Spanish and French speaker will hear words in Euskara that they recognize, depending what side of the mountains they are on. Because the Basque have adopted words from the languages because it has many words for things that Euskara does not contain.
it is also because in the case of Spanish the Basque language has spawn its phonetics and quite of his vocabulary. No hay mus!
I'm Basque. And if we decide we want to speak pure Basque, from the "Garbizalteasun garaia" . Non Spanish or French speakers will understand a word.
or because basque oppressed and banned for a long time

In basque region of France, the only time you hear someone speak basque is either from old people in a pub, or in a primary school
That’s depressing

Euskalduna bezalakoik eztao mundun💚
Standardised Basque obviously sounds like Spanish, considering the language wasn't standardised until the 70s, but before that the language sounded very unique, of course with different sounds for different dialects.
Found out I’m 10% basque from ancestry dna. So interesting
Euskara ♥️
Like Finnish mixed with Spanish or Portuguese.
Makes sense i suppose.
Finnish is also from pre-Indo European origins
Sounds similar to Hungarian to me.
