Basque language, the fuck is this shit ? No ones know where it comes from. You see some resemblances with another language ?

>You see some resemblances with another language ?
Apart from some loan words there shouldn't be any. It is a language isolate.

What about Albanian

How do they figure out "pre-proto-basque" if there are no other languages to reconstruct it from?
Justin Jenkins
Albanian is in its own branch of Indo-European, much like Greek and Armenian. They all descended from a hypothetical common ancestral language. Basque did not descend from it.
Elijah Morales
Albanian is supposedly Illyrian, Basque is the only pre-Indoeuropean remnant left today
Sebastian Torres
language isolate
lots of those used to exist before Aryan and semitic expansions
Michael Martinez
The Basques are probably the native people of Europe. That's why they don't speak an indo-european language, most of native population of Europe was intermixed or wiped out during the great immigration. You could say the same thing about the Finns, but they are not native Europeans, but Asians originally.

I know about the Indo-European expansion, but can you elaborate on the Semitic expansion.
Jayden Lee
compare the dialects and do reconstruction based on that

the only pre-indo european language left in europe
Parker Davis
Some looks like high old German especially toward current Netherlands to be honest
Adrian Wilson
Ancient people that escaped from Atlantis
Oliver Lee
little is known about it but it's theorized semites moved from northern iraq, northern levant, and Anatolia perhaps displaced by aryans, incorporating other languages like Sumerian
Alexander Sanders
>Some looks like high old German especially toward current Netherlands to be honest
Not really.

>You see some resemblances with another language ?
Yes.

It looks like the language orcs would speak
Brayden Adams
basque is said by some scholars to be related to raetic and lemnian
Andrew Brooks
internal reconstruction
ie, look at how latin loanwords changed, apply those changes to all basque words
Nolan Gutierrez
some words do
>ardo
>mehe
>mihi
>enara
>gazta
>ihi
>sehi
>suhi
Jayden Lee
What are those, never heard of them
Jeremiah Hill
well, no wonder
lemnian was spoken in the 6th century bc on lemnos
raetic died in the early centuries ad.
also, I was stupid and blanked.
*etrsuscan* is thought to form a family with the other two languages, basque is a true isolate
Levi Evans
Okay I know what etruscan is, I guess these are all pre-Indoeuropean
Liam Moore
Asking why Basque doesn't resemble its neighbor PIE languages is like asking Cherokee doesn't resemble American English.
Kevin Lewis
No one mentionned RH- blood.
Kevin Garcia
They keep trying using basque to translate ancient iberian, and failing. Although the relationship hasn't been entirely discarded.
Levi Morgan
Ryan Clark
>basque is a true isolate
The most convincing theory I've seen so far is that Basque comes from Archaic Sumerian like most other Eurasian languages, so it's technically not a language isolate.
Easton Lee
Linguistics is a huge meme.
