Basque also known as Euskara, is a language spoken by Basques and others of the Basque Country, a region that straddles the westernmost Pyrenees in adjacent parts of northern Spain and south-western France. Linguistically, Basque is a language isolate (unrelated to any other existing languages). The Basques are indigenous to, and primarily inhabit, the Basque Country. The Basque language is spoken by 28.4% (751,500) of Basques in all territories. Of these, 93.2% (700,300) are in the Spanish area of the Basque Country and the remaining 6.8% (51,200) are in the French portion.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Fun fact: in 1715 the Basque people sailed to to the Americas for fishing and some Native Americans developed a Native American/Basque mix language used for trade.
More like 1517, the Basque-Algonquin pidgin. The same happened in Iceland (Basque-Icelandic pidgin). The Basque whalers did indeed reach very far!
@@lh2738
I got the year backwards and forgot which tribe it was.
That was a nice pidgin example
Americas? No. They sailed to America. It's ONE continent. And they did that before 1492.
@@marceloorellana5726 Most of the world recognizes that the AmericaS are two separate continents. You’re wrong ☺️
As a native basque speaker of this language im very grateful that you made this video, it definitely helps shine light in our unique culture and language
Eskerrik asko bideo hau egiteagatik!

Tu y tus amigos hablan español o euskera??
I like the idea of a completely isolated language, not related to ANY other, it gives Basque a special charm, but it also must make it a pain in the ass to learn!
if u want recommendations ainu is also a language isolate!
@@sagrinne9922 Not really useful though. No one really speaks the language apart from like 5 people.
Can confirm! The syntax in particular is really unintuitive if you're coming from a Standard Average European language.
@@sagrinne9922 they have a different history though. Basque is a pocket that didn't lose its language, Ainu is all the natives who didn't submit being shoved in a corner and becoming a single population with a single language only as a result of that event.
am Basque and I really appreciate the interest you show in my language. Thank you.
Euskalduna naiz eta benetan eskertzen dizuet nire ama hizkuntzarekiko duzuen jakinminarengatik. Eskerrik asko.
Worth noting that several surnames we think of as Spanish are of Euskara origin e.g.
-Arteaga
-Carranza
-García
-Guevara
-Iturbide
-Legazpi
-Loyola
-Mendoza
-Navarre
-Ugarte
-Uribe
-Zelaya
-Zúñiga
A significant portion of my ethnic makeup is basque. Even my last name is basque! This language, people and culture are so beautifully fascinating, it makes me wanna travel to the basque region and reconnect to my ancestral roots
It's incredible that Thank you (Eskerrik asko!) sounds like it's own Greek contrapart "Efcharistò!"😮🇧🇮❤🇬🇷
Greek language have many pre Indo European words though. Thalassa,Apollo,Efxaristo etc these words originate from unknown Aegean Farmer languages.
@@zaboybagoi8636 The amount of pre-indoeuropean words in Greek is sizeable indeed, however you have chosen bad examples; while thalassa is considered definitely non-indoeuropean, ευχαριστώ and Απόλλων have explicit Indo-European etymologies.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Albanian is the mother of all indo-european languages
The pace in which you upload videos is amazing! You’ve done a great service for language lovers and for the world in general, by giving the world a place to let their languages be heard. I salute your hard work and wish you all the best, Andy! 👍
This is such an amazing video, thanks for the upload! ✨
I’m honestly loving the new format of these videos and I hope you get to do so much more!
I love your new format. Makes me learn my about the people and culture that formed the language. Thank you.
Soy de España, y este idioma es muy interesante.

Finally, together with Icelandic, my favorite European language.
By the way: I'm Italian. Could you make something about Icelandic? Thank you, love your contents
There was an Icelandic Basque pidgin.
@@marceloorellana5726 We need to recreate it. Create a small Basque colony in Iceland.
@@marceloorellana5726 pidgin?

I was waiting quite a while for a Basque video on this channel, finally the day has come.
This language is so unique yet beautiful. It's amazing. Language isolates are fascinating
I have been looking forward to watching the video of Basque language since I found this channel.
Thank you for talking about Euskera💖
Greetings from the basque country. Greetings from Euskal Herria. Its always beautiful to see videos of our culture and language. Zorionak (congratulations)
Basque people have similar genetics to pre-indoeuropean populations, aka, Western Hunter Gatherers (which got there tens of thousands of years earlier than the Celts/Romans) + Early European Farmers (which got there a few thousand years earlier). That being said, it cannot be assumed that the rest of Europe had reasonably similar languages, since the WHGs had been living there for tens of times longer than has passed since the Romans got to Spain, so the local drifting would have been much larger - especially since there weren't large and fast communication networks like in the classical, medieval and Renaissance eras, meaning more isolation and therefore easier drifting.
Now, the EEFs may have had relatively similar languages within their own group since they split from Caucasian Hunter Gatherers as a block and migrated across Europe in a relatively short timeframe, but the amount to which the new language of the interbred new populations would have taken from the native WHGs versus the immigrating EEFs must have been a pretty random local phenomenon.
Love Basque
The Basque people are a unique European population and culture.
This may be a language isolate but it's got the phonology that is so simple.
Which is quite normal because there is no any relation between being isolate and complex phonology
hello, I love this language channel, they are very entertaining, I like languages.
Bideo oso polita, eskerrik asko Zoridxonak!!!
thank you for covering basque! my last name stems from the basque word for stone house/wall
Unique, amazing and fantastic people and language both
Please reupload the Ancient Language playlist!
Good video 👍
Basque sounds Interesting
How enigmatic fascinating and interesting hell of a language.. Basque People please preserve it under any mean!
I don’t know if this was intentional or a coincidence but today tomorrow and Sunday is the San inazio basque festival here in boise Idaho hahahah
Do you know that you have basque kindergarten there in boise?? And even your mayor speaks basque jajajaj
@@aitortelle13 yup i knew! i am half basque myself haha
The distinction between Basque and is a _lot_ more subtle than I realised when hearing it. During the parable reading I couldn't keep up with distinguishing them, and in some cases I found it difficult to distinguish and . Are there any Basque dialects or generations have merged or are in the process of merging any of these consonants?
The Nafar-lapurtera dialect makes no distinction between the two
in navarre we pronounce each sound differently, and not in a subtle way
Its quite complex.
In my town, we sometimes pronounce the like ( a shhh sound) and we almos never make a difference between and . Also we switch the or to . So yeah, that’s it….
Ima watch this
🤓👍👍👍 very interesting Basque
Gora Euskal herria!
(Second comment)
It's [one of] the only remaining Paleo-European language[s].
Edit: Also [one of] the only Paleo-Hispanic language[s] still existing.
Genetics shows that most likely, that they migrated to Europe about the same time than the Indo-Europeans, as they share the same ancestry, haplogroup R1b is dominating. So, unlike Etruscan f.e., it shouldn't qualify like Paleo-European.
This is the last paleoeuropean language.
One of my friends are from Basque Country
i'm italian, and i love the basque language, i hope to see soon the romanian language! 😄
I would like to study Ainu, Sami, Icelandic and Basque. Antediluvian ( proto indo european languages )
Icelandic is actually an Indoeuropean language.
cool
Does anybody know some resources where I could learn this language? I've been searching for a while.
Please reupload the Sammarinese romangnol video
omg the picture of euskal jaurlaritza in the thumbnail
I have read a article about Basque language that says the Biskayan is the most distinct dialect of the language. Could Basque people have two living languages. Anyone know ?
pronunciation similarity to spanish means basque and extended language that of iberians were similar too? or just because the speaker is bilingual? because there is big difference between spanish and portugues but not between spanish and basque, at least on the hearing that I felt.

Me too.
LIES!
So it seems to me that both "s" & "z" make an S sound. How do they differentiate when to use an s or z in the word??
The letter Z represents the laminal alveolar fricative, just like the S in English, German, French etc. while the letter S represents the apical alveolar fricative, like the S in Spanish or the Σ in Greek, it's like something in between the Z and the X.
@@nexmastercz5618 🤔 hmmm
To me they sound the same... ,🤔👂
@@CinCee- Z basque sounds like Spanish southamerican S, and S Basque sounds like Castilian (european) S. They are 2 different phonems
@@nexmastercz5618 ooooh interesting
Nice one...a suggestion: do a video about the Portugal's Mirandese language...
What's your native language Andy?
Very cool language. Please make these videos but don't only do numbers please.
My last name comes from Basque 🥰
I feel as if you should of used the coat of arms of the greater Basque region instead.
I only understand "Txuri urdin txuri urdin Maitea" 😂
Most beautiful song in Basque :)
Pizza is the most beautiful Basque word
Every time I hear Basque language it has a Castilian sounding. Is that usual?
So they’re not related at all, but I think there r a few things which may make them sound a bit similar (not an expert)
1- euskara and castillian have the exact same vowels (a,e,i,o,u) , back when castillian was a Vulgar Latin dialect it would’ve had long and short vowels, now it only has short ones like euskara. This was due to influence since Castille is close to where they speak euskara (in comparison to other parts of the Iberian peninsula which were further away and have other vowels)
2- euskara and Spanish both have rr which is quite distinctive
3-it’s possible that now adays many euskara speakers also speak Spanish, maybe even as a first language, so maybe that affected the accent. Maybe thousands of years ago monolingual euskara speakers sounded very different
I think it's because basically everyone basque is also fluent/native in spanish. It's hard to keep separate accents and I guess they merged with generations... I live in San Sebastian for some time now and people can't tell while talking in spanish if someone's native language is spanish or euskera.
it's not hard to deduce the reason why, is it?
It’s probably because they all use Castilian/Spanish more than Basque. Even the letter “j” was pronounced like Spanish, instead of the Portuguese/Romanian/French “j” sound, or like an American “y”, or an Italian “gi”. That alone shows you a lot. Non-native speakers probably just sticks with their native set of consonants.
Basque influenced the formation of the Spanish language, especially phonetics. If you listen to old speakers from the French side, you'll notice they too have an accent that's very similar to that of Spanish. That being said, it's also true that Basque speakers from the south tend to have a more Spanish sounding accent due to recent influence from the Spanish language.

One question to the basque people (spanish and french as well).
The basque people want to break free the basque country from Spain and France to be an independent country or you guys (they) are okay with this situation?
As a French person while it's clear they'll never get independence as countries don't just give away land to random groups even when they ask nicely, but I do think they deserve way more recognition from our government, which does an extrmely poor job overall at caring about any minorities in the country. Basically the way France is politically designed is around Paris, the rest being treated as spare parts.
I'm Basque and I feel well in Spain. But there are some Spaniards who think that everyone in the Basque Country is part of ETA, and that saddens me as a Basque.
As in Spain is perfectly understandable that a person identifies as a Basque and Spaniard at the same time, in France it's pretty weird and they are probably going to think that you support independence.
I don't feel wrong at all, but I think that globalization and massive immigrations are the worst problems for us now. Many foreigners living in Spain think that I speak gibberish when I speak Basque and ask me unrespectfully to switch my language, which I won't.
I'm basque, living in the southern part and I think we should have more linguistic and cultural freedom and a common institution in the entire basque country, not necessarily with an independence but not happy with the actual situation, we're still divided in three parts, the language is official in some parts but not recognised at all in others, that's why I think we should reunite and have common laws and regulations in the entire land. I don't support independence, I support national freedom
I’m a Basque from the North/French side of the Basque country.
I don’t want independance though more freedom in education and language policies are imo more than welcome in here.
I’m not completely at ease with how the French state treated the Basque and other cultural/language minorities in France. I don’t like France’s centralism that much either.
But overall, there’s no conflict in my mind between «being Basque and French».
I don’t even feel that close to other Southern Basques besides that we share a common root. I mean, they’re not complete strangers to me, but it’s not like we are brothers to be reunited at all cost either. Spending time in the Southern part is cool and all but it’s not like I feel home there much more than I would in Catalunya or Alsace.
On a more political point of view, most «pro-independent» parties are pretty radical and keen on calling everybody who disagrees with them as «fake Basques», «faxistak», «traitors» or «brainwashed»… I really don’t want to live in an independent country with this kind of people at the head of the government.
But that’s just a personal opinion.
Some people want independence other’s not. But there’s clearly a grand majority who wants, let’s say more freedom or less intrusion from Madrid and Paris.
Let us be who we want! I think that’s the overall feeling.

Could you do one on the CHamoru people!
Like 90 percent of it im like yea this is alien language 👽.
10 percent: so you speak my language?
Do a video about Interslavic, please!
why it the grammar structure look suspiciously like finnish language lol?

I don't know why am i watching this being basque lol
Is Andy AI?
Do all basque words end with an ‘a’ or ‘ak’ 😂
No! That a ending is drfinitive article meaning english the. Some words naturally end in a but many words doesn't end in a in indefinitive form.
Etxea is the house. Etxe bat is a house. -Ak is plural definitive.
I can understand and somehow speak Souletin/Xiberotara which is basque most archaic dialect. Most closely related vocabulary to proto-basque. Without the batua standard, euskara would be almost extinct. Üskaz alkareki mintzo ditzagün. Euskaraz elkarekin mintzatu dezagun. Let's speak in basque together.
9:27 that’s so cool in Hebrew a cookie is “ugia ” which is similar to ogia which is bread in basque

Sounds like Greek 👍

@noble crow Sino-Caucasian macro family? Isn't it a language isolate? So Basque has a 'family'? What are the languages related to Basque? What is the connection between Basque and these languages?
@noble crow great!
you talk as if you're speaking about established facts when it's all about:
"a PROPOSED language family that includes WIDELY SEPARATED language groups spoken in the Northern Hemisphere: Sino-Tibetan languages, Yeniseian languages, Burushaski and North Caucasian languages in Asia; Na-Dené languages in North America; and the Vasconic languages from Europe (including Basque)."
I would be very, very curious about ANY evidence of a slight resemblance whatsoever between Chinese and Basque!!
From what I've read, Basque will remain as the European language isolate for a looong time still!
Had to be said 🤷
@noble crow WoW XDDD
Can you make the avestan language plsssssss plzzzz
Even though it is a language isolate the pronunciation is heavily influenced by Spanish perhaps due to the close contact for centuries
From what I’ve understood, it’s actually the opposite. Basque influenced Spanish phonology massively
It is quite rather the opposite, Spanish 5 vowel phonology in between others is due to the mix of the Latin language exposed in Basque areas
It's like some uralic language in Russia!!
@@mortenoconnell7977 Yes. The Old Castilian(language that the modern Spanish was developed) born in La Rioja/Province of Álava/Araba, zone that in ancient times was basque speaker, receiving a strong basque influence, like the 5 vocals and the same pronunciation for B and V.
This idea that Basque influenced Castilian is a myth. For the simple reason that modern Castilian phonology is very different from the phonology of the 15th century when Spanish had a pronunciation closer to Occitan. Spanish basques nowadays have a Spanish accent in basque and French basque speakers have a French accent in basque for the simple reason that Castilian and French are by far the dominant languages in either country
Can you do Punjabi (Pakistan)? You did Punjab, India but the Punjabi in the west is different :) 🇵🇰

The language of cavemen who lived in the Paleolithic period.
Seems to me the language's tempo and accent has been heavily influenced by Spanish
Or maybe it's the other way around
@@chrisinnes2128 exatamente
It's the opposite. Spanish is influenced by Basque.
I noticed something like that too
The latest genetic studies have shown that they arrived in the Iberian Peninsula around 5000 years ago, from the Middle East.
Also mention that language has become politicised, it is used by separatist political groups as a weapon to separate, movements that originated in the 19th century and were promoted by the upper classes at a time when the Spanish empire was in collapse.
Did u know Basque has been put in the same language family as Sumerian ! But it just a myth
