- Do you know Euskera, the Basque language? We do. We are in no way claiming to be experts, philologists, or linguists. All we are trying to do is make a point that this ancient language is very much alive and well here in the Basque Country.
To do that we went out to speak to people who are involved in the maintenance and development of the language, just that.
-Approximately 40% of the Basque population know Euskera.
-The Bertsolari is a Basque cultural icon.
-This and many other forms of expression make Euskera a living language.
-The term "Euskaldun" refers to a person who uses Euskera.

As a spaniard I can't help but shake my head when reading all these comments from fellow countrymen so full of contempt for the Euskera language. Meanwhile linguists all over the world, and even non linguists like you guys, show the appreciation it deserves as one of the few remnants of the pre-indo-european culture (and the only one left in the Iberian peninsula). It's most definitely a fascinating study object for any language lover out there, and I sure as hell would love to learn it some time in the future.
Spanish are european mestizos ..... national...geographic ..... ancient-iberians-dna-from-steppe-men-spain ( 55 % Neolithic DNA , 20% Central Europe DNA , 12% or 15% western mediterranean DNA , 11% gypsies , semitic DNA ) . They hate moorish but they speak his Spanish language with 4000 words of islam .
Damned Francoist Fascists. There seems to be a lot of them about. They are so dumb and full of hate.
" Applause " 👏
I am a Spanish native speak and I am interested in learning about the Basque. I am sort of studying ancient history and I stumbled upon the Basque people. I also believe I have Basque ancestry based on my last name and last names from other family members so I want to learn more. The Basque people sound very friendly and happy. Love the language too.
@Preston Garvey The people stating something is useless have a superiority complex. No different, than here in the United States, when people get mad, someone speaks Spanish instead of English. In Canada the French are disliked by the English speakers and vice versa.
I VERY much like the way Basque sounds! Greeting from Greece.
I like how Hellenic sounds. Greetings from Spain.
Lol, that's because you have the same phonetics. So you really just like the sound of your own language.
@@seethrough_treeshrew That was actually pretty funny lol Guatemalan American here btw 😁

@@seethrough_treeshrew I do like my own language! 🤷🏻♂️
Gotta love language isolates man, this is so fascinating.
I imagine this is how Spanish sounds for someone who doesn’t speak Spanish
It's the rolling of the Rs that give it that "Spanish" vibe. If I overheard someone speaking Basque I would have thought it was Spanish at first until listening closely. 😂
Chi-Yin and William: chilliam00 you are right! Now that I think about it, it sounds more like Greek
I don’t speak Spanish and that’s not how it sounds to me.
YES
LOL
no spanish sounds like spanish lmao
I'm from California, there are many basque in the American West. They are shepherds and ranchers, which is why Basque restaurants always serve the finest cuts of meat. When traveling in Spain I was surprised to learn that Basque food in Basque country is largely seafood.
I'm from California and I never knew this! where in California are they?
@@danielschaper1359 in San Joaquin valley, and in Irrigon, Oregon and in Buffalo for Johnson county Wyoming
I am a native Texan and have Basque in my ancestry.
Hi, I’m an Spaniard living in California, I would like to know if you know where are the Jatetxeas or typical bask restaurants please,
Thanks
I'm Basque and I have family in Boise, Idaho, it's the area where most Basques emigrated and I think Reno Nevada too... In San Francisco, California, there is a Euskaletxea (Basque center) where there are Basque cultural activities...
Castillian Spanish is heavily influenced by Basque language, the first written Spanish was found in Valpuesta, Burgos province of Spain, where is very adjacent to Basque region. Many Spanish words originated from Basque as well as Spanish surnames. It is supposed that the first Spanish speaking people were once Basque people who altered from Basque-speaking to vulgar Latin. In fact, a language's sound system is heavily influenced by earlier trait. I find Portuguese sounds different from Spanish, Portuguese is heavily nasal, vowel system close to French, maybe Portuguese was influenced by Gaelic language from Gaul like that of French (Portugal means "Port of Gaul").
Interesting, that would explain why Portuguese and Spanish are notably different, still having Iberian vulgar Latin, Arabic and Visigothic as parents/loanword origins.
Perhaps, Portuguese is also closely related to neighbouring Galician which definitely has an old Celtic substrate. Gallic from Gaul - from what we can derive from inscriptions - was a lot closer to classical Latin though, so I think the different varieties of later vulgar Latin had more impact on the pronunciation in all those places than Gallic or Celtiberic. Still, anyone working on that time machine?
@@allaincumming6313 I'm Spanish from Galicia. For me it's easier to understand Italian than Portuguese. To me Portuguese sounds like a French guy trying to speak Spanish.
Fascinating, have any sources I can read about early Spanish and Basque?
I thought Basque was an isolate, and had no predecessors *OR* descendants, with respect to phonetic sound change?
It sounds to me as a portuguese native speaker from Brasil that they´re speaking spanish, until I realize that I´m not getting a single word.
Catalan sounds more like Portuguese than Basque does.
I speak portuguese and undestand nothing of catalan
as a spanish speaker, i feel like theyre speaking spanish until i realize i dont know a single word, just like when i hear greek.
@latxa you kinda blew my mind
@@DEJUNHODE-SAOCARLOS you might not understand but it is really similar with the sounds of portuguese from portugal
Love Euskara language. It sounds great. Greetings from Albania.
Thankss greetiings from basque country✌️💪
language isolates unite!
I love Albania
@@marios1861 Albanian is not a language isolate, it belongs to the Indo-European language family, though it's an independent branch, like Hellenic.
My roots are the Basque country/Iberian Peninsula. Also a fellow RH negative blood type. I live in the US but I have a strong emotional heartfelt connection to these people. I’m hoping someday to visit. It is on my bucket list of countries and places to visit. Thank you for this video Tiffany
It would be amazing to hear the original accents. The cadence is very spanish. I wonder how far back (in years) you'd have to go to hear the pre-european Basque accents.
Probably not that far back. Maybe even as little as 50+ years ago.
If you visited remote basque villages in the 19th century most people there wouldnt know how to speak spanish, so there you have it. You could hear pretty solid basque original accent up to the end of the 19th century.
@Alazar Wanderer very cool
@Alazar Wanderer Armenia? Oder Georgien 🇬🇪.
Fun fact: Spanish phonetic and intonation was taken from Basque, not the other way around.
Many people from Antioquia in Colombia have Basque roots. I did a DNA test and most of my ancestors are Basque! I am hoping to learn as much as possible. I want to know more about my ancestors :)
Claro, eso es por los vascos eran unos expertos en la marina
I love euskera, from Italia
They roll their Rs like four times 😂😂😂
I’m Latin American (Peruvian) descent but my maternal last name is Basque. I took a dna test and even though the percentage is EXTREMELY low, it turns out I have Basque dna! It’s interesting how the last name still lived on and made it to me and same with the tiny amount of DNA
Same, my parents are Mexican I took a DNA test and I’m only 5% basque but have a basque surname.
My last name is Urrutia. My family are Mexicans but I was born and raised in Canada. Latin Americans can’t pronounce nor spell my name 😂😂
I think this happens a lot. Basque people moved around a lot with the Spanish and then when Franco came in many dispersed again. My family came to the states because of Franco
My last name is Navarrete, like the town of Navarro, Spain. I have 3% basque but I’m 43% Spaniard
Kaixo denoi, ni Ernst naiz, Austriakoa, eta ez naiz euskalduna. well, I will continue in English. I have no one here where I live to talk to in Basque. What would help me most if videos in which Euskara is used like yours or from eitb would have subtitles in Basque generally. Eitb never responded when I asked for Basque subtitles. Generally I love videos like yours, people telling what they do in their country or the euskaldun berriak. These videos with subtitles (ez erdara) would be very helpful, so please do it fast, orain 70 urte ditut, eta nire buru laguntza nahi du. Gero arte! Agurrak Austriatik!
Lortuko duzu lagun, euskara ikastea zaila da baina ez ezinezkoa!
I wish their culture especially their beautiful and ancient EUSCARA language survived ! Good luck beautiful people. Basque and Hungarian languages are one of the ancient tongues of humankind, let’s make sure they won’t fade away or dissolve in the seas of Romance and Slavic idiomas!
I read an article that a lot of people from that area immigrated to Jalisco, Mexico where I'm from . Now looking at the last names and the way people look... I'm definetly sure they did lol
A muchos países de Latinoamérica llegaron los vascos. De hecho en la ciudad donde vivo fue fundada por ellos y la patrona es la Virgen de Aránzazu.
This language is so fascinating, it looks literally nothing like Spanish in writing and shares no genetic relation to it in any way, but seems to have almost completely adopted Spanish phonology and rhythm. I almost cannot distinguish it from Spanish when I hear it spoken. It literally just sounds like Spanish with a (VERY) sliiightly different accent to me. I am from Sweden by the way.
It's the other way around. It's not Euskera that sounds like Spanish, it's Spanish that sounds like Euskera.
@@Elektr0hazard what is the point in that distinction expect for the inciting of dumb nationalism.
@@marios1861 If it's true then the truth is best off known.
And only evil people hate nationalism.

Not necessarily. Spanish dominated and evolved and for all we know Euskera modified its sound through time
It sounds Eastern European to me.
Sounds like Spanish backwards, amazing!
Lol
my aunt's DNA came up with a small percentage of Basque so i was curious about the culture. the language is fabulous!
Ze polita, euskara!!! Tenéis el idioma más bonito del mundo, que es la lengua viva más antigua de Europa (digan lo que digan aquellos de "se lo inventó Sabino Arana, para el nacionalismo vasco...") y esperemos que lo siga siendo para siempre, ¡y que eso signifique que no se ha perdido!. ¡Todos los idiomas alguna vez fueron inventados! ¿O mi idioma, el catalán, salió también del nacionalismo? Vaya. Así vamos. Dejemos de discutir sobre si viene de tales cosas y pongámonos a hablar del problema de verdad, que es que no se vaya a perder. Qué triste que el euskara lo hable tan poca gente. Un idioma que te transporta a otro tiempo, y que no entiendo cómo mucha gente puede calificar de "suena a idioma de bestias, salvajes, poco avanzados". Vaya con el odio. Escuchad Vendetta, Ken Zazpi, Enkore, Kerobia, Ense Beltza, y luego venís a decir lo mismo. Además, lo que transmiten con su música. Luchan para que su cultura, lengua y pueblo no quede en el olvido. Eso no es solo respetable, es fantástico. Al final vamos a acabar hablando todos inglés, chino, español y alemán, como sigamos así 😂 Es tan respetable como el inglés, español o catalán. Y, en mi opinión, incluso más bonito, por ser diferente y su sonoridad, que parece que transmita magia.
"No sirve de nada". Entiendo esta postura, pero siempre hay cosas para las que sí sirve, y aprender un idioma nuevo nunca te va a venir mal. El conocimiento es poder, y te abre la mente. Además, si pensáramos así de todos los idiomas, el catalán, galego y muchos más tampoco sirven, sólo el español, inglés, francés... . ¡Mantener el idioma es mantener la identidad de los pueblos y sus culturas! Si se pierden, se perderá una gran riqueza cultural. Eso es lo que muchos quieren; suerte que muchas canciones en euskara van de eso, de conservar la cultura de Euskal Herria, el idioma y sus tradiciones, su manera de ser.
"Si cantan en euskara, se van a cerrar a un grupo muy reducido de oyentes ya que mucha gente no les va a conocer, porque no se van a enterar de nada". ¿Tanto cuesta buscar la letra? ¿O pedírsela a alguien que sepa euskara? Pienso yo. Mucha gente oye música en inglés y no tiene idea de lo que dice, o oye música en español y ni se preocupa de lo que habla la letra... . Yo no soy vasca y considero los grupos de Navarra y Euskadi los mejores del país. Tanto que me ayudaron a superar una depresión con su energía y letras. ¡Y cada uno puede hacer música en el idioma que quiera! No en el que a uno le de la gana. ¡Para eso es su música!
Gora euskara, lagunak!! Besarkada ta muxu bat! Ze polita, gure herria ta gure hizkuntza!
Soy sevillano y me encanta como suena, y más aún como se escribe nunca he escuchado por aquí eso de que suene a idioma de bestias 🤔

No sé por qué tanto odio hacia los vascos. Soy mexicana así que no sé mucho. Acabo de aprender que tengo sangre de los vascos igual que la sangre eapañola. Vaya sorpresa para mí. Por cierto, el idioma vasco es muy bonito.

Sounds like Proto-Basque definitely influenced the celtic languages.
It,s understandable sounds are similar.
Current basque language has been standardized, joining pre-latin rests, only surviving in valleys and areas where romanization was scarce, while in the rest of Peninsula, pre-latin iberic variants dissapeard with Romans and replaced by Latin, becoming later Castilian (Spanish), born certainly around basque area. We could say that Castilian is latin spoken by Basques or Iberians, as French could be something like "Latin spoken by Germans...".
So, It,s understandable sounds are similar.
All reasonable studies lead to the fact that basque surviving language was one of the iberic family languages spoken in great part of Iberian Peninsula.
For instance, just compare iberian old numbers (deduced from tombs and inscriptions) and current Basque
IBERIAN (pre-latin): 1/2. Erder-i, 1. Ban, 2. Bi-n, 3. Irur, 4. Laur, 5. Borste-Bors, 6. Sei, 7. Sisbi, 8. Sorse, 10. Abar, ...
BASQUE (current): 1/2. Erdi, 1. Bat, 2. Bi, 3. Hiru-r, 4. Lau-r, 5. Bost-Bortz, 6. Sei, 7. Zazpi, 8. Zortzi, 10. Hamar, ...
ifc.dpz.es/recursos/publicaciones/29/54/32ferrer.pdf
There isn’t enough evidence to posit with confidence that Basque is related to any Iberian variant.
A couple of important points to note:
- The phonetic similarity between the number systems could very well be superficial. It’s even debated whether or not the two geographical regions of where Basque and the Eastern dialect of Iberian were spoken even coincided. Lexically speaking, Basque philologists like Lakarra have proposed intra-Basque etymologies for many words which appear similar, including those that you mentioned.
- There are some morphological similarities, primarily stemming from certain suffixes like -ka and -te, but there are so few examples that it would be reckless to assume with certainty.
- Finally, there isn’t even enough evidence to assure the ergativity of Iberian. Without this, given that Basque is ergative, it would be very difficult to relate the two.
There are many other points that could be made. However, I think this is enough to show that we shouldn’t jump the gun on this. Philologists would need more inscriptions of both languages to make a more informed decision.
@@Joe-cb6ex In that world where there were no language academies, no social networks, no telephone, no roads..., any isolated population group would develop small differences with groups from other valleys and contiguous geographical areas.
But the few traces available always point to in the same direction, such as that the script used was the Iberian one or that the little that can be compared, such as, for example, the deciphered Iberian numeral system, coincides almost exactly with the current Euskera system, but infinite philosophical lucubrations and extravagant theories must be elaborated to look for unlikely relationships with languages from any other end of the world, rather than accepting the natural and obvious: that the explanation is, logically, at home.
Let's stay in an eternal provisional state of denying all evidence and common sense, let's not rush into opposing the politicians who invented Basque nationalism around one century ago.
@@_NoHayPruebasDeQue_ I reiterate my earlier statement: there isn’t enough linguistic evidence to declare, with certainty, a genetic relationship between the two groups. It is obvious that there may have been influence, as the numerical system might indicate. I’ve also given the example of intra-Basque etymologies for words that are supposedly descended from Iberian.
Even so, one must examine this at a far deeper level, specifically morphosyntactical. Without even being able to prove ergativity in Iberian, in my opinion, this is a moot point, as far as I’m concerned.
If experts in the field have not arrived at a consensus, I think that’s enough to leave the question open. I would suggest reading papers from Rodríguez Ramos and Lakarra if you’d like more reason to be skeptical, as they’re far more knowledgeable on the subject than me.

sounds like a mix of greek and old norks
r d how?
Sounds NOTHING like Greek.
@ildg 007 Not even close. I am a native Greek speaker. It has similar but not the same set.
@ildg 007 Yes, they aren't the same. Basque has softer phonology, I have studied it at least at a basic level.
@ildg 007 Having same vowles sounds isn't an impressive feat to clarify at least.
Basque vowel sounds:
i
/i/ u
/u/
Mid e
/e/ o
/o/
Open a
/a/
Greek vowel sounds are complicated and obscure:
Greek has a system of five vowels /i, e, a, o, u/:
The closed vowels /i, u/ have qualities approaching their respective cardinal vowels.
The mid vowels /e, o/ are true-mid [e̞, o̞].
The open vowel /a/ has been described variously as near-open central [ɐ] and open central [ä].
There is no phonemic length distinction, but vowels in stressed syllables are pronounced somewhat longer [iˑ, uˑ, eˑ, oˑ, aˑ] than in unstressed syllables. Furthermore, vowels in stressed syllables are more peripheral, but the difference is not large. In casual speech, unstressed /i/ and /u/ in the vicinity of voiceless consonants may become devoiced or even elided.
Examples for vowel phonemes
πας /pas/ 'you go' subj.
πες /pes/ 'say' imper.
πεις /pis/ 'you say' subj.
πως /pos/ 'that' conj.
που /pu/ 'where'
Are there any basque people not able to speak spanish at all? It's impressive that a language which is isolated, unrelated to other languages survived for so long.
I love EUSKERA
Such a beautiful relic of ancient history.
This is the closest thing you can get to the original language of the atlanteans. Beautiful language.
Unless somebody reconstructs Etruscan which is also a Paleo European language
dude i dont know who you are but you look AWESOME. UPVOTE!
Wow...very interesting! Incredible the way vasco language sounds even related to the Spanish and even been language descendant, Awesome!
Increíble, en México hay un Estado llamado Durango, conque es un nombre vasco. Lo mismo con muchos apellidos que se asocian a los españoles por la conquista pero son vascos en realidad, como Elizalde, Ayala, Vásquez y Vizcaya. Están en nuestras raíces y nosotros ni enterados, una cultura que se mantuvo casi intacta desde la prehistoria y evolucionó como todas las europeas.

My Y-chromosome haplogroup R-M167 is common in Basque country. It is also frequent in Nouvelle- Aquitaine (France) and Catalonia (Spain). We descend from the Aquitani people of pre-Roman Empire; Iberians from around the Pyrennees. I'm from Quebec.
Wow! It sounds great!
Even if my ancestors left Euskara so long ago when I hear that language I feel it in my soul
i just found out that vasconian sounds almost like bahasa indonesia.

@@celestes.7187 he said it was a "Coincidence *...* " he was clearly implying that he believes that somehow asians once ruled europe. Its quite a popular theory in asia actually.

2:10 lo que nos une a todos!
This sounds exactly like Castillian did to me back when I had just landed in spain and didn't speak the language yet. Absolutely wild to be transported back to that experience 😅
Oso bideo ona lagun, euskera oso zaila da ikasteko edo hori esaten dute, baina nahi bada ahal da eta Oso polita da eukera mudura zabaldu izana kanal honen bitartez. Aupa zu
It has - among the speakers in the video - a very strong Spanish tonality. Do we know how much the pronunciation of the two languages is related through generations of bilingualism?
This is very interesting! My last name is of Basque origin!
It would be so little we would know about the world had it not been for the Internet.
Can you imagine being one of the 60% who can't speak their own language? I wouldn't be able to handle the shame!
Irish people- hold my beer
Actually, I think the percentage is higher than 60%. But technically its not that they dont know their own language, not at all. Lots of the modern basque population is descendant from inmigrants that came from other regions of spain, and of course they didnt learn the local language since it wasnt taught in school and you could live with castillian only. So you cant blame them, 120 years ago those families that today are basque were living in andalusia, castile, leon, extremadura... Its not that they lost their language, they never knew it in the first place.
Vengo a comentar en español, me encanta el vascuense,quiero aprenderlo con todas mis fuerzas.
Phonology and melody of language sounds exactly like (Castilian) Spanish. But then I realize that I don't understand a single word that I should do, if it was Spanish. So apparently, Basque language has been influenced a lot, at least in phonology, from the surrounding Spanish.
Angel Scorpio this may be true, but interestingly some linguists hypothesise that Castilian may have been historically influenced by Basque rather than the other way around.
Is it just me or do the native languages often begin to sound like the newer language. Whether it be Irish sounding like english, Breton sounding like French, or Basque suena como espanol.

Im Mexican-American with family roots spread throughout the Northern Mexican states of Nuevo Leon n Tamaulipas. And on the 23andme results I get Basque Country as my top region under Spanish & Portuguese category. The closest Basque surname I've been able to dig up is Ibarra(sometimes spelled Ybarra).
Mi family is also Norteño from Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.
This is the strangest language i've ever heard, because there is nothing similar to the other official languages of Spain, i speak Spanish and catalan, a non catalan speaker can understand catalan even if it is a little bit, but spanish speakers who live in other parts of the country don't understand euskera, sometimes it sounds like an african or asian language, but its origin is unknown.
Sounds cool. I do have the feeling though that it has been influenced in it's vocabulary by Latin languages because in my English speaking mind it sort of sounds like one of them
Euskera existed before Latín.
Maybe Latín was influenced by it aso
Sounds unique but a lot like Spanish, with some French touch.

No, there are different dialects, and they can not understand each other sometimes
th-cam.com/video/l4JxUD_BN9I/w-d-xo.html In this video, people from the French Basque country speak in Basque. It happens that the Basque proto has sounded different, but the French or Spanish accent will always be strong. Spanish language to a Mexican, a Colombian or an Argentine ... the language is the same ... the accents are very different
Not at all, accent is similar to Spaniard. Basque is unrelated to the other languages of Europe and is a language isolate relative to any other known living language
Thank you for this video! I recently discovered that I have some Basque in my ancestry and would like to study Euskera.
Native speaker here
It’s funny cause it sounds like Spanish but I don’t understand, for a person that doesn’t speak Spanish if hears that language will think it’s Spanish!
Pardon my innocence here. I must add what a long-ago mentor told me, a PhD in Romance & Classical Languages (Yale Univ). He felt that there was some similarity of tone between Portuguese in Iberia and the Sicilian dialect of Italy. Hope I even said that right. I see some French in Portuguese (Jean, Joao, etc). And of course there is ancient Latin vulgate under the surface in all except Basque. Regarding the Portuguese/Sicilian parallels he saw, maybe that could go back over 2500 to the Phoenician/Carthaginian occupation of the Southern Mediterranean, at a guess. Carthage eastern Sicily for centuries before the Romans took it away 2nd Century BCE; Phoenicians, who founded Carthage, also founded Gades or Cadiz in Spain.
Here the virtual pat on the back you’re looking for. 🖐
My father's grandfather is originally from basque country and I am sad that we lost the basque culture, language and identity when he moved to the USA. It is easier to say we are Spainsh and to speak Spanish, but we are basque with no connection to our heritage.
1:35 It sounds like he isn't using the direct translation of "American" since that would refer to America the continent that is comprised of North, Central, South America, and the Caribbean. Instead he's using the translation of the more specific "Usonian".

It sounds very nice
Is that just my impression or those people talking in Euskera has a strong Spanish accent to it. Just to give an idea, If I didn't know Spanish, I would certainly have thought that they were speaking in Spanish.
It honestly sounds a lot like Spanish but, to me, more interesting. Probably because the grammar is so different and I don't spend the whole time trying to decipher it, like I might do with Spanish.
I wish euskera differed more from spanish & English. I dislike it has so many words with the same or similar spelling in Spanish & english. I'd suggest replace those words with words from other languages.
Make it harder for hispanophones & alglophones.
All these are of similar or identical spelling in Basque, Spanish & English. I'd love if euskera used the word from other languages that didn't resemble SP or EN.
Examples of how I'd like it:
Music = Zene
ink = muste
Banana = muz
museum = Safn
Elephant = slon
England = Sasana
Zebra = ngựa vằn
Soap = mýdlo
Asthma = huangō
Viking = Lochlannach
Pyramid = Ahraamta
Piano = 钢琴
Fossil = απολίθωμα
Tarantula = lintuhämähäkki
Gas = dujų
Coconut = nyog
Cinnamon = darçın
Starch = wanga

doesn't it sound like spanish?
The accent maybe, but it has different words
When i saw the Durango name it reminded me of the Mexican Durango
Nueva Vizcaya. Donde es frecuente encontrar apellidos vascos.
Sounds similar to Georgian
Looks like very difficult
i have much respect for basque people but i must say, i cant deny that i hear a spanish sound in theyre language the words its not latin its basque but the way the prononce it sounds very spanish no disrespect.
th-cam.com/video/l4JxUD_BN9I/w-d-xo.html because they also speak Spanish as their mother tongue and the accent remains ... the same happens in France where the French Basque country is ... another thing is to take a text in Basque and try to understand ... the Basque language does not have a Latin root
Spanish language, from Latín origin is thousands of years later than euskera.
Maybe it was more correct to say Spanish sounds like euskera
Euskalduna naiz eta arro nago
i was researching this language and unfortunately i havent found any recording of a unique sounding accent or pronounciation for the language cause they all just sound like spanish speakers speaking a different language.
If you hop onto the website for the Basque broadcast service EITB, a number of the Basque-language presenters have a much milder Spanish accent

sometimes it sounds like russian and japanese but with a spanish accent
Is Basque Country very catholic like Spain
It's like if Spain and Greece had a child.
Sort of, with a bit of Japanese and Finnish. A wonderful language.
I'm Greek/Basque ^^
The only one speaking real Basque is the first interviewed bearded guy, Itsua. All the other ones have the Catalan accent.
You are completely wrong. Itsua talks Basque very well, but has learned Basque as a second language, his cadence and accent are not of a native Basque.
The accent of the others, on the contrary, is native accent.
As a Portuguese man, i don't see any difference from Basques and average Spanish but the language. The phenotype is pretty much the same.
The Spaniards are probably in some part romanized peoples, partially Germanized with the Goths, mixed in with Celts, and other groups, ALTHOUGH that is probably something that varies from region to region.
Also Portugal is better than Spain.
