About the Basque language 

I agree! Also good job with the grammar, if it is hard enough for us native speakers, i cannot imagine how it is for everyone else! 😅👏🏻👏🏻

Same

It's NOT TRUE that during Franco's regime It was ilegal to speak vascuence.

​@@ramonpascual155 it's true. You could have seriously problems with the Spanish soldiers and the Guardia Civil. They used to beat people who speak basque language. Herriak ez du barkatuko

@@ramonpascual155 Actually, it was. You were pursued by "Los grises" and the "Guardia Civil" if you were caught speakinng basque. Only the Spanish language was allowed in the Spaniard land, I don't even think that catalán or galician were allowed either.

You dont have to chose a different day job nor give up on Basque at all. Make youtube videos of your learning Basque as well as teaching the world about linguistics. Dont let them keep you down!

Where do you live? If you're in Spain, France, UK, Germany, Luxembourg or Netherlands I know people who will be happy to help you. Otherwise I'm sorry. We are a rare breed lmao 😂 But it's still not impossible. I know a Russian girl who speaks Basque, she's really good. All the best and greetings from the Basque Country. 👋

Probably not the same afterwards...lol,,,

I find it fascinating that ancient languages usually seem much more complex than modern languages. You would think it would be the opposite. Language reveals so much about the inside of peoples heads and thoughts. It's very compelling to think that people in ancient times might have been much more complex than we are.

Hola Eider, soy italiana y te comento una cosa como me parece que tu nombre significa Beautiful. En Italia no conoci a mucha gente bascas. Pero en Argentina, cuando me fui de viaje, sì. Y ...no sé si fue una casualidad pero eran todos lindos. O mas lindos respecto a los otros turistas. Mas altos etc Pero no lo comento a cualquiera, no quiero decir que otros no sean lindos🤗

Me too. In my head I was: Nor-Nori-Nork, baldintza ta subjuntibo 😅

That was the hardest part for me out of all Selectividad.

Well she says it sounds like nothing else. I thought it sounded like Hebrew or something from the caucasus

She has not told everything about Basque language. What about the white people in Africa. Traditional cloths almost looking like those of the Badque, their written almost language like the Basque... This woman in the video tells only the indoctrinated version of the Basque. So the whole story is and probably will never be told.

@@ExperiencedGhost so what’s the whole story? Are you from Basque Country ?

Do you currently live in Basque Country? I am wondering if they welcome visitors? I am Mexican last names Vasquez and junco. However I am intrigued by all this information and by the pictures I have seen online, I am hopeful to visit one day. Is the last name Vasquez popular in that area ? Thanks in advance

@@danielvasquez6459 According to mainstream historians (who have to follow the indoctrinated version or they lose their job) the almost identical version of the white people in North-Africa has nothing to do with the Basque in Europe. Like many other subjects the official claims were refuted. About the white people in North-Africa (who share genetic affinities to the native white Guanches of the Canary Islands and Basque People of Europe), their language, ceremonial cloths, signs and symbols, white skin and other body features are the same as those from Europe. There is a little difference in written language but like I say "little". If you compare those two, it is amazing how everything is almost the same. We don't talke about a coincidence anymore. What are those white people people doing in North-Africa? Image of white people in North-Africa called the Berbers: 3.bp.blogspot.com/-1LUpSIWLWHs/UlLhQTArRAI/AAAAAAAABYU/le0CYhX6JWg/s1600/Amazingh_tribe_caucasian.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=f3ecca6100065f834b12faa32a The word “Berber” itself probably comes from the Egyptian term for “outsider,” which was adopted by the Greek to become “barbari,” which morphed into the Western word “barbarian.” The Greeks used the word like the Egyptians, as a general term for foreigners, but the Berbers referred to themselves as the “Amazigh,” or “free men.” The white Berbers interacted with black Africans, now you got black Berbers of different shades. (Unfortunaltely, wikipedia cannot be used as a reliable source. It's political supported. This means controlled.)

You both seem to be Atlantean descendants

Berber is such an amazing and strong people too ❤

@Shanti Andía when he says "nations" he means "people", as in a culture unique to certain group. Basque and Galicia are two nations that belong to the same state, Spain.

I find it quite surprising that Spanish uses "izquierda" from Basque, given that it is such a common and important word.I have studied Spanish since the age of six and never knew about this word's origin. Cool.

Technically a part of it has been lost since the last native speaker died in 2013, but there are about 200 people who are actively trying to revive it, and about 100 or so people who know the language to the fluency of B2 which isn’t so bad. I just found out about Livonian a week ago and it’s an interesting language for sure

Related my language I’m pretty sure. Hungarian

The French have always been averse to protecting their minority languages. They'd just as soon let them die. They don't even have it on their census reports. They have in their constitution that only French is allowed, which is against the articles of the inclusion of Brittany into France.

That's Latvian and Russian girls for you.

Really interesting! I'm a Spaniard living permanently in Finland and didn't know this, thanks for sharing it!

I highly relate to this! My mother tongue is Spanish, I always found English simple but I tried German and found it "too difficult "😅, then ended up moving to Finland and 16 years later still haven't mastered Finnish, it's incredibly difficult, but... I think Basque is even more difficult!!

@@inesbc2001 Finno-Ugric languages tend to have more regularity to them than Indo-European languages, I suspect this relates to their agglutinative nature (as opposed to fusional IE languages), which tends to keep things tidier.

Yep. No need for artificial, imported 'diversity'

@@Drabkikker There is a big difference between migration as an organic phenomenon and social engineering. One doesn't need a PhD in anthropology to tell the difference. There is nothing 'organic' about cultural and demographic suicide, using 'humanitarianism' as a pretext. Also, people have been committing theft, murder and rape since time immemorial...I hardly think that's a valid argument to support its continuation.

@@Safe-and-effective Interesting tag there about 'theft, murder and rape'. Are you hoping to draw a comparison? Tell me, what's the difference between the large groups of people far in the past who migrated from the east to places already inhabited by other people; and the migrants who arrive now? I can tell you that they arrive in smaller numbers than the e.g. Vascones who migrated to northern Spain. Or the Alans all over Europe. In the past you either peacefully assimilated, co-operated; you drove them away or they wiped you out. Most European people are the result of being conquered multiple times. Right now when migrants arrive, no-one gets conquered.

@@Drabkikker Not at the current scale.

​@@robertolang9684 It would be totally neutral and fun to learn. Wouldn't you love to take Basque classes? I know I would. Also I would enjoy watching the pain of others when they can't fathom the grammar. (I probably couldn't fathom it either.) I've been hacking away at Japanese for years and some Japanese grammar is far from straightforward from a western perspective. There's "wa" and "ga" particles and trying to explain them is like explaining when you say "a" or "the" in English. It's to do with topic and focus but in the end you just have to learn when Japanese people tend to say these particles and just copy them. I bet Basque is like that too but probably in multiple areas, ha ha!! I remember hearing that Basque was an "ergative" language but none of the explanations I looked at actually stuck in my head, I just know it's something to do with intransitive verbs.

@@jayc1139 wouldn't it be fun though. If everybody spoke Basque I think it would really brighten up the linguistic landscape of Europe, ha ha!

Never forget our three provinces ruled by France. The Basque Country is spread to both sides of the Pyrenees

Did you know that Basques were whale hunters in the past? I don't know if they ever got as far as Greenland, but I think they did get to Iceland!

A bit of, but in reality , the ”structural resemblance” has more to do with Hungarian, Suomi or even Japanese, as those are unrelared but agglutinative languages too. Same as Basque.

As Basque to say, I do not know exactly if the voids reached Greenland. But if they arrived in Newfoundland (Canada), the Basques called it Ternua. Today that word is a clothing brand (specialized in mountain clothing, since here there is a lot of love for mountaineering) whose logo is the tail of a whale, because the Basques who came to "ternua" did it in order to hunt whales.

@@gorka9020 As a basque with hungarian ancestry

it's similar to mine too, Dhivehi.

@Bob el Silencioso And there were also Basque fishermen on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland around the time of Columbus.

Thank you for clarifying this! I was told by Basques that they are indeed mutually intelligible to a high degree, so I was a bit confused by the video.

I think it is related to the location where those people where living at the time, small population or villages in remote locations away from bigger cities ... all of these make them less prone to attacks from Romans or other bigger tribes ...

@@leonake4194 many years ago, before the concept of a Basque people/nation was well established, the demonym of Biscay (Vizcaíno in Spanish) was often used as a synonym of "Basque" by foreigners, because Biscay has long been the most populated and well-known Basque territory. That's why you can still find the term Vizcaíno in many old names

Hi, if it's ok, would you mind editing your comment and changing "Spanish languages " to "languages spoken in Spain"? Since the first might give the impression that some of those languages could be just dialects of Castilian Spanish. I totally understand if you don't want to, and hope this wasn't rude on my part!

@@inesbc2001 No, it is no rude at all, but I think this is just your impression. English can be a language spoken in Spain, for instance.

Luis, wyt ti'n siarad Cymraeg? (=Do you speak Welsh?) Os rwyt ti, byddi di wedi sylweddoli bod y ffordd i gyfri ddim yn hollol debyg yn y Gymraeg a'r Fasgeg (=If you do, you will have realized that the way to count is not entirely similar in Welsh and in Basque). For instance, in Basque the number "seventeen" is "hamazazpi" (ten-seven) and "ninety seven" is "laurogei ta hamazazpi" (four-twenty and ten-seven), while Welsh would use "dwy a bymtheg" (two and fifteen) for 17 and "naw deg saith" (nine_ten seven) for 97. Basque is still today fully vigesimal while modern Welsh is only so up to 20 (at least for numbering years of age). If the word "ugain"/"hugain" coincides in both, a plausible explanation would be that this is a result of Basque or proto-Basque having had a prolonged, early contact with a now long extinct continental Celtic language from which it must have borrowed the complete vigesimal counting strategy for all numbers (no matter how high) but kept only one single name for any number obtained in this 20-based system: hugain. On the other hand, even if Welsh also had the vigesimal counting system in its original DNA as a member of the insular Celtic languages, it underwent so many external influences in its history that its use now seems restricted to a few well defined domains and not the whole extent of the counting range. Eta euskera ikasteko zailtasunei buruz, nik esango nuen mito bat besterik ez dela. Ni neu euskaldun berri naiz eta egia esateko, Galesera ikasteak euskera baino burukominak gehiago ekarri dizkit! (And about the difficulties of learning Basque, I would say that it is nothing but a myth. I myself am a new Basque-speaker and to tell the truth, learning Welsh has brought me more headaches than learning Basque).

This is an important difference, the Absolutive is closer to the accusative in function than the nominative. (Ergative-absolutive languages are weird)

I use to spend my holidays between basques and they are always correcting themselves.

Me too! I love that in the Spanish language the Basque word akelarre is used for it, I think there isn't even a Spanish equivalent!
