@@nickandabbyworldedition108 Bro you're straight up delusional. The Basques have been existing for like 15 thousand years while Corsica only somewhat existed during the Corsican revolt against Genoa in the 1760s. The Corsican language only started to be created after Latin was adopted on the island around the 500s in a process that would take centuries to even be considered as a distinct language and the people are just people from Italia progressively settling the island throughout the Late Antiquity and Middle Ages.
@@mr_bluesky9436 Opressed while being the richest and most priviliged people in whole spain paying less taxes and having more autonomy than any other spanish province just because they liked shooting innocent family men wearing green uniforms. scum maybe, not opressed
@@mikelagirrezabala8488 Vale, asumo que eres vasco así que hablemos en nuestra lengua franca, si eres de Iparralde, perdón xd. Está claro que aún hay mucho que hacer, pero vuestra lengua no está perseguida sino promovida, como deberia ser, igual que la catalana etc. Decir que estais oprimidos es... incorrecto, oprimidos estan los vascos o catalanes en Francia, donde su lengua ni se enseña, me parece que el independentismo en España es hipócrita porque, exceptuando a Paco y Miguel, en España se han respetado las lenguas y la plurinacionalidad.
Fortunately, the Basque Country won't go extinct because it has both a very active nationalist movement and also a lot of government support. Unfortunately, though, this isn't the case for a lot of stateless nations and peoples. For example, a lot of indigenous tribes of America or Australia could have their language and distinct culture go extinct soon. Unfortunately, though, they often don't have the material powers to make their language great again. Or they don't care that much because they've been at the point where they don't see it as an issue. Even though a lot of these languages could also be from very separate language families. It's really a shame, and I would hope one day to see all languages and cultures, especially minority ones, fighting together for equality.
Britain is a union where all 4 nations rule themselves, these two countries are ruled by a foreign power and are split into pieces administratively. Completely different.
@@RegnumHungariaeWestminster control over these countries is the problem. Westminster is a foreign power. On paper Northern Ireland Wales and Scotland can rule themselves. In reality it's if Westminster doesn't care then it won't get involved. If Westminster does care then it will. Also Westminster deceives and lies. Scotland independence referendum 2014 is an example of this where they were promise benefits of the EU if they stayed with UK and look what happened. Let's not forget the neglected Cornwall and his people. Saor na Ceiltich!
i am hungarian, while it is not an ancient language or culture, sometimes it seems and feels very alone, i cant even imagine what these cultures may feel, it must be very special, all of my respect goes out to corsicans and basques
Oh but you're wrong, it was your people, your predecessors, who toppled Rome and caused the German mass migration that saw Rome Sacked, France be born, and Gothic architecture be invented in Spain. Hungary and your ancestors the Huns are as ancient as China. It's just not well documented where you came from, in Roman history it is like you popped out of the sky, a spectre haunting Europe, and now you're a part of it.
@@cheevo7680 Hungarians didn’t cause that. The huns did. Hungarians are Magyars and not huns. Huns went extinct after they settled in Europe, Hungarians didn’t.
the Corsicans are an Italic people subdued by France, when it bought the island. The Basque Country is one of the founding roots of Castilla and Spain, Spanish prides until a separatism appeared based on the defense of the Old Regime that quickly led to racism and supremacism. They are two totally different cases, it does not do the Corsican separatists any good to compare themselves with Basque separatism.
As a lemko Slovak, this song of two peoples being suppressed, reminds me of my own culture, which has withstood similar challenges. Glory to Corsica, glory to the Basque Country
@@MaxTheLazyCat Lemkos are (close to) Rusyn people, now living in the north-eastern Slovakia and south-eastern Poland. The Rusyn people are native to the north Carpathians, but their culture was supressed and they were forcibly assimilated during the Soviet rule, and from about 2/3 of a million Rusyns 70 years ago, now there are only about 30 000 of them remaining
Yes, but among the Nations of Europe, it is the Corsicans who have the most genes of the pre-Indo-European population, even more than the Basques who retained the Pale-European genes only in the female line, and it is most likely the Basque women who retained the language of their ancestors even though their children were half Indo-European. while the Corsicans, despite the fact that their original language is extinct in their genetics, are still a pre-Indo-European people, largely in the male and female line.
My wife is Basque - I will always love the Basque people. Euskaldunak oso maite zaitut! And lots of respect for the Corsican people who have lived for centuries under the oppression of the French!
@@mecalegrand3542y’all French literally came to their country when it declared independence from Genoa and annexed them, banned their language (AND THEIR LITERAL EXISTENCE), gave them almost no autonomy because of “muh Republic” and now Corsica only has a 55% Corsican population
I have to say, reading this comment section gave me hope in humanity. I am so used to everyone in Spain saying horrible things about our culture and language, it made me really happy and hopefull seeing so many even nationalists here being supportive and apreciating us. Thank you to all of you out there who instead of doing the easy thing, hating, are instead trying to be open minded to understand us. The reason we want to be independent is not because we dislike Spain, we are just trying to save our culture and language, like everyone does, and it's sad to see so many people coming here and just speak in Spanish because it's the easy thing to do because basque isn't the official one. It's also sad we have to live separated from our French side, our land is splitted in half and taken by two different nations wich doesn't really give us a feeling of much freedom. People usually think it's a thing about hate, but it's not, it's about self preservation and feeling our land is ours, and not someone elses land where someone else decides what we can do or not.
In which way is Spain destroying your culture and language lmao. Don't expect solidarity from the rest of the country after what basque independentism did with ETA. Worst thing of all is that we have supporters of it in the government
Con todo el respeto del mundo, el independentismo es la irracional búsqueda de solventar la represión de un Estado creando uno nuevo que lo sustituya. Dicho esto, entiendo el sentimiento que transmites. Soy de Murcia, y aunque por cómo soy suelo hacer humor con ello en mi día a día, siempre "hemos sido" los paletos del sur (junto al resto de la costa sur, hablo de Murcia porque es mi Tierra). Nuestras particularidades culturales han sido menospreciadas, y nuestra habla tachada de inculta e ignorante. Pero la solución, y es mi humilde opinión, no se encuentra en crear un Estado nuevo, por muy pequeño que sea. Todo Estado supondrá la imposición de unos intereses centrales frente a la correspondiente periferia. En España son los centros de Madrid y Barcelona frente al resto, en una Euskal Herria independiente sería el centro de Bilbao frente al resto de Hegoalde y frente a Iparralde. Ningún nuevo Estado supondrá jamás la liberación de ningún pueblo, por definición de lo que es un Estado. Por el contrario, la búsqueda de formar nuevos Estados lleva al nacionalismo y al surgimiento de nuevos odios, como lo fue desgraciadamente ETA. El pueblo solo será libre cuando no haya Estado, y su organización política sea horizontal y anárquica. Un fraternal saludo, eta orain eta beti, gora Euskal Herria! ^^
Catalan aquí. Siento lo mismo, es una pena que veamos nuestra cultura y lengua morir y que a los políticos de la capital no le pueda importar menos. Gora Euskalherria!
@@nickfairefinal inesperado xd, la verdad, no se debería menospreciar ninguna cultura ni lenguaje, y mas que nada, nos separa. Desde Cataluña, Viva Murcia!
@kleijnee from france? No, all northern Italians who want independent Lombardy are idiots. Those of South Tyrol, on the other hand, will never do it because they would have much more privileges in remaining in Italy.
@Fredomia Corsican may be very similar to Italian, but it is still a different language entirely from Italian. It can be considered a dialect because of its similarity, but it still isn't the same. That's like saying Irish is literally Scottish Gaelic or Catalan is literally Occitan. 🙂
As German Hiker who marched trough the Transpyrenaica and the GR20 in Corsica, i can say that the Basque and Corsican People are very similar in their characters and wishes for the future. But there is one exception between them, most Basque people are satisfied with the current situation (Own Police, own Rights, own Federal Goverment etc.). This is totally different with the Corsican people who are still fight for complete independence. But this is my own opinion after a long time and many conversations with people in this countrys. P.s This Song is a wonderful piece of culture that reminds me of two beautiful countrys and people and i hope each of them gets what they wish for. Auf ein Wiedersehn from Germany
It varies wildly depending on who you are talking with. The wish for independence or overall change in the Basque Country has a vivid presence among the youth, especially if you know where to look.
I am Corsican and you understood our situation well, we want more recognition of our culture, language, people, and despite the basques, we don’t even have autonomy because France is a very centralised country, who don’t really recognise the different people of France, so some corsicans are for independence and some others just want more autonomy for our Island, and also for other people from the different regions in France
@@Sakonetatar1 Thanks for the responds and best wishes for you from Germany. And i have to explain that we went from Hedaye directly into very rural parts of the Basque Country such as Roncevalles, Larra and Navarra. So i had only contact to people from secluded small villages or Refugios in the Mountains, maybe i should've visit San Sebastian or Bilbao for the next time for the bigger Picture
@@minidjames8448 Thanks for your response too, i hope "the moutains in the Mediterranean Sea" gets their autonomy as soon as possible. Cause from my point of view, absolutly nothing in Corsica was french at all, same as New Caledonia and every other places that are able to lead and care for themself without a neo-colonialistic and goverment repressions. So fight with Strenght, Spirit, Heart, Brain and the best wishes from all the rebels in the world for the preservation of your cultural heritage and freedom. Auf ein Wiedersehn!!! enjoyed your nature and culture so much!!!!
As a person of French descent living in Germany, I am sorry that we frankic brothers surpress each other. My respect goes for both of these beautiful and strong countries, we who are of the ancient spirit united in history should always fight together, not against each other!
As a Chechen I feel the relationship between my people and the basque we are the last of the old europeans As for the corsican people I understand the struggle of needing to protect your language from an outside invader
this is a beautiful and heart-warming yet tear-giving song. both of these cultures and nations are ancient and are very interesting in their own ways. I hope one day, their oppressors will not be able to keep them away from their freedoms for much longer! Love to the Basque! Love to the Corsicans! Love from Serbia! My heart goes out for your fights!

@@danielderoit6867 Non c'entra nulla col sardo, è invece molto simile all'italiano standard come dialetto, dato che la Corsica è stata sotto il dominio toscano per moltissimo tempo. Se un sardo ti parlasse in dialetto non ci capiresti nulla
@@nazionecorsa5204politically, yes. Linguistically, no. Too similar to proto Italic to be considered it's own thing. Sardinian is quite different from Italian and it barely qualifies to be it's own language
This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. It is my dream that all humans, from all different cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs, can unite around shared struggles. From the Americas, across to Africa and Eurasia, and then to Australia, l dream for a day where we all will throw off the chains of oppression, and have the right to govern ourselves, they we see fit.
És molt grat sentir quelcom així, una cançó en dues llengües que han estat en perill de desaparèixer, dues nacions que s`han hagut de defendre de nacions més grans que no sempre han estat tant civilitzades en el seu tracte vers les minories. Visquin les minories, visca la diversitat! Salutacions des de Catalunya! Viva a corsica, gora Euskadi!
@li zalez al igual que los borbones hicieron con Castilla. Lo que importa es, toda lengua no es ni buena ni mala, es solo una forma de comunicación, pero entiendo el sentimiento de conservarla, porque la cultura de estos pueblos se escribe en su idioma.
- El euskera es cooficial en España. En Francia no tiene reconocimiento alguno. - El catalán/valenciano son cooficiales en España. En el Rosellón, Francia, no tiene reconocimiento alguno. - El occitano es cooficial en el Valle de Arán, España. En Francia no tiene reconocimiento alguno. - El corso, bretón, normando, alemánico, franconio... no tienen reconocimiento alguno en Francia, como era de esperar. Ya me dirás tú qué lenguas están en peligro de desaparecer y en dónde.
Fratelli Corsi, un giorno il vostro popolo sarà libero, continuate a combattere per il vostro modo di essere e la vostra lingua. Corsi ed italiani sono fratelli 🤝
@omo.ragnolo27 perché ? Oggie in cOrsica siamo diventato minoritarii , î veri Corsi sono meno numeroso , ogni anni 5000 francesi veneno installarsi in Corsica … da qui a 10 anni il popolo corso non esisterà più .
@omo.ragnolo27 I francesi non voleno essere Corsi ma stare francesi , anche la lingua si more ,,nessuno la parla più … la Francia ci volé dare l’autonomia come in Sardegna .. ma che vale un autonomia senza corsi ?

Being Romanian, i cant help but feeling some similarities in the history of Basque and Corsicans with my people's. We were also constantly invaded by different people groups for a millenia (From the swift takeover of the Rus to the overreaching influence of the Ottomans), and still we have survived. I salute you people of Corsica and Basque. May your languanges and cultures remain slive and well
FREEDOM OF THE BASQERIA!!! LONG LIVE THE INDEPENDENT BASQUE COUNTRY!!! WE ARE ONE PEOPLE!!! GREETINGS FROM ARMENIA BASQI BROTHERS! DO NOT FORGET YOUR ANCESTORS 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Una differenza abissale tra basco e Corso! Il primo, per un italiano è completamente incomprensibile, il secondo è, praticamente un dialetto italiano, comprensibile al 90%
Yep basque is from a completely different "language family", in fact experts haven't found any other similar language in europe. The origin of the basque is still a mystery
@@minidjames8448 Certo che capisco! Voi siete orgogliosamente Corsi ma, come italiano, vi sento tanto vicini. Di francese non avete nulla! Siate orgogliosamente Corsi, la Francia non vi ha mai concesso niente e nulla avete a condividere con loro. Saluti di cuore ai cugini Corsi e w Pasquale Paoli!
Fait intéressant : Le peuple le plus proche génétiquement des Basques est le peuple Sarde. Tous deux ont conservé un fort pourcentage de génétique néolithique (Fermiers et Éleveurs Anatoliens). Il est également théorisé que la Langue Nuragique, l’antique langue de Sardaigne, était apparentée au Basque. Au niveau de la langue, parmi toutes les langues étudiées (disparues ou en vie), il semble que celle ayant le plus de similitudes avec le Basque et ses ancêtres soit l’Ibère, une ancienne langue parlée en Espagne.
March, 2023: French court bans official use of the Corsican language in Corsica. "Beyond the language question, the court said local rules effectively establishing “the existence of a Corsican people” were also a violation of the constitution." How is something like that possible in a "liberal" western European country in 2023. This is outrageous and Europe does not care. How can a state simply deny the existence of a people, of an identity. This makes me incredibly sad and angry! God bless you Corsican people! We had the same trouble here in Wales for centuries and we won our rights back. Resist this madness before it's too late.

@@gamermapper Don't get me wrong, as someone raised in rural New Mexico far away from the permeating culture of the rest of the US I was raised with a heavy mix of Latino, Anglo, and Apache traditions formed to make a unique culture. I consider myself lucky, as my cultural roots are more solid and deep than an overwhelming majority of people in U.S. However, there is a lot that is new, and synthetic, and that we simply don't know. Then again the whole world is very suspicious of people from the US, and people from US are just hated in general so I expect no sympathies from someone like you, and I don't expect you to understand that my comment was in support of solidarity.

We are both not many but our hearts are filled with hope and will to survive.
