Ivan Baez Yes as someone who speaks a bit of Spanish I thought at first I was listening to Spanish and not getting all the words (and it was fast) but then realized it was not Spanish at all.
Those who say it sounds like Spanish are right. The phonetics of Spanish and Basque are very similar because Spanish comes from the Latin spoken by native Basque speakers in the times of the late Roman empire and Middle Ages. So, Latin and all romance languages have 7 vowels or more, except Spanish 5 vowels (because Basque only has 5). Same with the pronunciation of two different "R" sounds (R and RR). Spanish "sounds" like Basque, however no Spaniard can understand Basque because the vocabulary, grammar etc is totally different not being an Indoeuropean language. To a Spanish native speaker like me, Basque sounds like Spanish with 100% invented words. It's a strange feeling because it sounds familiar even if we don't understand a single word.
I imagine a Spanish speaker listening to Basque has a similar experience to a Scottish person listening to Scottish Gaelic. It's clear there has been considerable influence between the two in terms of the accent and pronunciation but at the same time you understand almost nothing. Although I'm slightly skeptical as to how much Basque influenced Spanish, since Basque was not the only language in Iberia at the time of the Roman conquest, there was also Celtic languages and potentially some Carthaginian as well.
You're right about the way it sounds to us. On the other hand, what we understand nowadays as Spanish language or Castellano, had its origin in the romance language spoken by native speakers of Basque and not in the other areas of Spain. It's interesting to notice that the first written proofs of old Spanish/Castellano were notes on margins of religious latin texts, clarifying the most difficult parts to understand. Coincidentally, some of these notes were written in Spanish and some in Basque. These documents are called Glosas Emilianenses. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glosas_Emilianenses
Te hablo en español: Comparado con un vasco Xabi tiene muvho acento español, al escuchar un vasco de verdad te das cuenta de que las sonidos s y c/z no existen.
There is no relationship between euskera (basque language) and spanish or french except for borrowed words. Basque is much older than them and is considered one of the oldest languages of the oldest if not Europe. If you hear speaking a northern basque, it can sound like french but a french will not understand what he is saying while a southern basque will.
Suso Medin It is known that more than 2000 years ago basque language (euskera) was spoken in the Basque Country and around, and spanish (castilian to be exact) was not born until much later (same as the French). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_language
Asi Go spanish or italian or french is latin spoken 2000 years later or indoeuropean spoken 6000 years later or protoindoeuropean spoken 7000 years later. "Basque" spoken 2000 years ago was much more unrecognocible than latin if you speake, lets say, french. Dont you really think that the "basque" spoken 6000 years ago was like nowadays basque (40% latin based i read)? Again. There are no such thing as a language older than others. Its an easy concept.
2000 years ago there was no Spanish, only the Vulger Latin of Hispaña. 1000 years before that, Latin was a minor language on the Italian peninsula, no where else. Languages can DEFINITELY be older and newer.

El castellano nace en un territorio que sería: Oeste de la Rioja, Sur de Alava y Norte de Burgos. Era una zona en buena medida vasco hablante (en la Rioja como 1 de cada 4 toponimos son vascos, y en zonas del Norte de Burgos hay un porcentaje similar). El castellano sería un latín hablado por personas de lengua vasca, de ahí que la fonética sea la misma y que un euskaldun no posea acento cuando habla castellano (no sucede por ejemplo con gallegos, catalanes o mismo con andaluces). Influencias del vasco en el castellano, la principal sería al perdida de F inicial que se mantiene en otras lenguas latinas (horno, hijo, harina, hacer...), el sistema vocálico tan sencillo y algunas palabras (el castellano antiguo tenía muchas mas palabras vascas),
Si tenemos acento, aunque se ha ido perdiendo, pero las "z" y las "rr" por ejemplo. Y la entonación tambien es diferente y puede dar cierto acento. Obviamente con el tiempo, la tv etc, cada vez es mas raro encontrar gente con acento. Yo mismo tenia acento vasco al hablar castellano. Mi sobrina de 4 años tambien lo tiene (ya es el euskera su lengua materna, como me ocurria a mi) pero a la largo lo ira perdiendo
CHEMAPAMUNDI CHEMA Los bascos que yo he conocido ne sonaban muy " planos " hablando castellano , muy inexpresivos comparado con lo cantarines que somos los gallegos. Eran personas de la provincia de Guipuzcoa . No sé si ese es el caso general .
En el norte de Soria se han localizado lápidas de época romana del siglo I con nombres vascos como sesenko, en un tipo de euskera denominado Akitano, Aquitania es la denominación de la zona de vasco hablantes del Sur de Francia que casi llegaba hasta Burdeos... Hace 2000-años, los romanos los denominaban aquitanos...
He would be a perfect badass medieval Spanish conquistador chief. Has the most Spanish look imo, strong facial features but not extremely light-skinned+blue eyed+blonde like the northern euros
@Mar. L Well, knowing most Basques live in the Iberian peninsule and have had contact with the rest of Spaniards, I'm pretty sure there are more than a few Spaniards who look Basquid. Well, some of them even carry a Basque surname.
@Mariana Leite Como si los Vascos no fueran españoles. Además he visto caras como la de Xabi Alonso en otras partes de España, y en el extranjero, y no eran vascos. Además ¿qué es un vasco? Veamos que opina en el tema el Athletic Club de Bilbao que ellos sí saben ya que solo contratan a vascos. Y fijémonos en los hermanos Williams. Pues caras como las de dichos hermanos se encuentran en muchas otras partes de España, y también en el extranjero.
I've never listened to Basque before today. In this Xabi video, phonetically I'm hearing similarities to Scandinavian language and intonatons, primarily Icelandic -- it reminds me of watching Sigur Rós interviews. Interesting anomaly, this Basque...
+NappyAfro There is even a Basque-Icelandic creole language since basque have a whale and cod hunting tradition as did the Icelanders. Basques used to go to Iceland to hunt and trade. You can look it on wikipedia Im not kidding. There is even a Basque-Algonquin creole as well in the St Lauren area and Newfoundland in North America, where basques were also hunting and trading with whale and cod.
ney, there was also a law, that was taken down a couple of years ago, that said that any icelander who encontered a basque should kill him instantly. Funny thing when I went to iceland the law was still up; but I wasn't harmed haha!
You must be joking. You have never heard Spanish, as spoken in Spain? Because it sounds exactly the same. And I have never heard anybody claim that Spanish sounds like Icelandic or any other Scandinavian language. If anything Spanish (from Spain) sounds more like Greek.
@@ivanmolero7829I assure you, I'm not joking. I assure you that a Basque person who knows only their own language could not communicate with a Spanish person who knows only their language-less so, even, than a French-Canadian person or a Louisiana or Haitian creole-speaking person could speak fluidly with a French person. And Basque language does not sound "exactly" like Spanish except for the inevitable but limited similarities in sound and maybe a relatively few words it has absorbed over time merely by its intimate adjacency with Spain (I'd bet that the Philippine languages, way over on the other side of the world, have more Spanish influence in them than Basque does). In fact, I'll maintain that in all their subtleties, if one listens closely, they sound VERY different from each other as obviously very different languages. Unmixed, the Basque language, culture, and people have zero relation with Spain/Spanish-they're as different from each other as Irish is from English. They're not a 'type' of Spanish people, they belong to an ethnicity completely independent from the Spanish/Latin. They were there, in what we know today as Spain, before Spain or the Spanish/Romans were ever there, as was their language and culture, which have resisted assimilation/extinction fascinatingly well, all things considered. The two languages have completely separate origins and are not related in any way at their roots. In fact, the structure of the Basque language is so unique in standing alone in the world that no one yet has been able to conclusively connect it with any other known language, alive or dead-which is also to say that I'm not saying it necessarily has ties to any Icelandic/Scandinavian language, only that, to me, it sounds curiously & incidentally similar to Icelandic, but my analogies stop there. So no, I'm not joking. Apart from actual facts, I hear what I hear. And I have a pretty good, subtle ear. (As a somewhat similar example/tangent: Portuguese is of course very similar in structure to Spanish because they share the same Latin roots. But to me they SOUND very different. Forget about the similarities in words for a minute-when I hear Portuguese spoken, even though Portugal borders Spain but not France, it SOUNDS more like French or even Russian to me. Alors…speaking of French, and to go on another tangent, I think Israeli people speaking English sound overall a LOT like French people speaking English…and those languages are not REMOTELY the same. But that's my take on it. Call me crazy (or joking), but that's what I hear.) Furthermore, your aggressive condescending tone baffles me. Come at me bro? I may as well have offended your mother. If you can't pick up on the same subtleties in sound and language that I or others can, that's ok. I don't care. But there's no need to go aggro because what I said seems absurd to you. I hear what I hear. You hear what you hear. But I feel no inclination to try to put you down when you simply state what you hear if I happen to disagree. 🤷🏼♂️
Yes Spanish (castellano) and Basque (euskara) have exactly the same vogels because the people who created the romanic castillan language had probably basque speaking ancestors. The place of birth of spanish language is located between burgos and vitoria-gasteiz, probably in Haro village
This may be partly true, but I think it's mainly because of Spanish influence on Basque. As evidenced by the fact that Basque spoken by French Basques sounds much more similar to French than Spanish.
that's because the "spanish" language ( as you call it) inherits the phonetics directly from the Basque. In other words when the Romans brought the Latin language to Hispania, the Vascones ( ancient Basques) who were already there tried to speak it, castellano came out. "spanish" is but a corrupted form of latin spoken with a "Basque accent".
When the Romans came, the majority of the population in what the Romans named Hispania were not Vascones, who just inhabited a corner up in the north and never got quite romanized. The Latin spoken in Hispania was not a corrupted form of Latin but the Latin that simple people spoke, Vulgar Latin, and Spanish developed later from that (and not "Spanish" and not "Spanish as you call it", although it was first known as Castilian or Castellano).
@@ivanmolero7829 The Iberians (who most probably were from the same Old European Sprachbund as the Vascones/Aquitanians) had a major impact on the latinized languages that became known as Ibero-Romance such as Castillian, Aragones, Catalan, Valencian and to a lesser extent, Galician-Portuguese.
Efectivamente. El castellano apareció por primera vez en una zona en la que se hablaba euskera, de hecho las primeras palabras escritas del euskera y del castellano aparecieron en el margen de un texto en latín, era la traducción de algunos párrafos. Y esa es también la explicación a que el castellano sólo tenga 5 sonidos de vocal. El euskera solo tiene 5 también. Sin embargo otros idiomas de origen latino tienen vocales abiertas, cerradas....
Buenas, es curioso ver como a mucha gente no castellano parlante el euskera le suena de la misma manera que el castellano. Esto se debe a que el euskera que escuchan aquí es euskera batua (estándar) que es la unificación de muchos dialectos de esta lengua, la pronunciación también está estandarizada por lo que suena muy parecido al castellano. Las diferentes variedades de esta lengua para nada suenan así, es más, a algunos vascoparlantes como yo se nos puede hacer muy difícil entender a alguien de algún pueblo de Bizkaia o Gipuzkoa pero la prueba más evidente de esto esta en Iparralde (la zona perteneciente al estado francés) cuyo euskera suena a simple vista como la lengua francesa en pronunciación.
Bueno a ver, el euskera en muchas partes de Navarra es casi igual que el de "Iparralde" de esa parte de Navarra y Lapurdi. Y el del Roncal es casi igual que el de Zuberoa. Muchas veces generalizamos "Hegoalde" e "Iparralde" y en fin, que el euskera de gran parte de Navarra se parecería más a "Iparralde" que al de Bizkaia por ejemplo. Incluido el acento. A mí también me cuesta entender el euskera de pueblos de Bizkaia o de Gipuzkoa occidental (de la oriental no) porque es de los más alejados al estándar, en castellano también me cuesta entender el castellano andaluz o el canario ojo, que parece que sólo pase en euskera esto. Aquí Xabi Alonso habla euskera central que es uno de los que originan el estándar junto al navarrolabortano (incluyo al navarro aquí por lo que he dicho antes).
"Sounds like Hindi" "Sounds like Finnish" "Sounds Scandinavian" "Sounds Greek to me" "Looks like Spanish" "Sounds like Armenian" "Sounds like the Irish language" Hi world. Apart from comments, I heard people saying "sounds chinese or african" when hearing northwest regional.
I'm a native Hindi speaker and it's interesting that you say it sounds like Hindi haha to me it doesn't. I also speak Spanish and it sounds like I should be able to understand it but I don't.
I doubt that in such a small time period he could have learned a language from merely one person. Secondly, Bavarian is more of a dialect of the Upper German varieties.

Actual basque sounds like that, it's a very small group of speakers influenced by very big languages like spanish and french are. Of course there are a lot of Basque dialects which sound different compared to what Xabi speaks, but the Basque he speaks is authentic and real.
Tal vez deberías aprender solo un poquito de inglés antes de responder a alguien que pone un comentario en inglés...te lo digo para saber que está diciendo y no meter la pata xD
You are right and wrong at the same time. I am a citizen of the kingdom of Navarre. I don't want to be Spanish French or from "euzkadi". We are not "basque" styled republicans Marxists or atheists. My country has a Bourbon monarchy descended from Henry 4 of Navarre a monarchy that also lays claim to the throne of france. WE are strong Catholics despite a corrupt pope assisting the Castilians and Aragon in destroying our country. In retaliation two of our monarchs became Huguenots. WE love God!
there are 'tt' and 'dd' sounds, that are very hard to pronounce for many not native people (Spanish hasn't anything like that xD). Even Spanish people can't pronounce 'x' right (like 'sh' in English)... And need to difference between 'z' and 's' (they may be sounding the same but a Basque can difference and pronounce in the right way)
Suena como el español, al menos el acento es el mismo, pero no pude entender ni una sola palabra... bueno algun nombre propio, pero nada mas. Cada lengua tiene su muletilla y el basco para los no parlantes, suena a que muchas palabras terminan en EA. Que curioso!
Pablo Leone Uno de mis jefes es vasco y se burla de mi acento gallego y habla acabando las palabras en -eiro ó - iño , yo para responderle lo imito haciendo una especie de acento como en los chistes sobre los de Bilbao y acabando palabras en -oa y diciendo chorradas como " escaralakakatúa " y otras cosas inventadas
si, no es el origen, pero el castellano moderno en algun momento asimilo los sonidos del vasco, el castellano antiguo se parece mas al portugues. El castellano moderno adopto esos sonidos bien marcados del vasco como la erre y la ka.
El Castellano antiguo no se parece más al portugués. Es al contrario. El Portugués antiguo se parecía más al gallego y al castellano en la pronunciación, pero más tarde hubo un cambio fonético en el portugués.
What are you talking about? Albanian is at the earliest only mentioned at the start of the 11th Century CE, Basque has been mentioned by the Roman Empire, and there is some evidence that it may even extend back to the Stone Age... And what the hell is "howerver hellenic"? Hellenic languages are a group that include Ancient Greek and Macedonian as well as others, some of which are extinct...
IturaldeRodel Albanian is thought to be of Illyrian-Thracian origin but since no written form of this languages is found it is hard to say. It seems logical that Albanians are Illyrians because of names,places,customs. And it is mentioned since the 8th century by Bulgarians. Albanian, Greek and Basque are the only distinct languages spoken in Europe.
ScuderiaFan While I agree that Albanians are likely descendants of Illyrians, Dacians or Thracians, their language is not mentioned anywhere until the 13th C CE, and at the earliest possibly 11th C. I'd love to see the source for your claim of 8th C. Also, the language is not nearly as "distinct" as Basque as it shares similarities to Greek and aspects of the Slavic languages. This is most likely due to their aforementioned origins, and historic association with Byzantium, during which time they were fully Christians. Today, they are mainly Muslims, following the rule of the Ottomans, however much of their mythology and folklore remains heavily influenced by the Slavs.
IturaldeRodel About the claim of the 8th century that is what a history teacher told me so I don't know if it is true or not. I'm Albanian and it doesn't share a similarity with any language especially Greek and Slavic. Yes it may have a couple of borrowed words from Romanian,Turkish and Latin but certainly not from Greek and Slavic. Some dialects have plenty of borrowed words but the standard language is very distinct. What other Europeans don't understand is that the religion of an Albanian is Albanism. Yes there are a couple of fanatics, but Muslims have built churches and Christians have built mosques. As for the mythology we have many distinct stories and legends but we mostly share similar stories with Bosnians. Saying that our mythology is heavy influenced is not true because it may be the other way around, after all we were here centuries before the Slavs.
ScuderiaFan Ok, I see why you are biased to believe the things you do. It's fine to be proud of your nation, but my suggestion is to find objective independent information if you want to truly educate yourself. Ask your history teacher for an independent peer-reviewed source for his claims. Better yet, open GoogleScholar and look things up for your self. My only other suggestion is to keep an open mind, and don't let your past influence and bias your learning. Albania is a beautiful country with a rich culture, and I would love to visit it some day, but my suggestion to you is to have actual sources to back up your words. For example, I would love to see on what basis you claim that Albanians were "here centuries before the Slavs." As for Bosnians, they are actually Slavs (mostly Serbs I believe) who turned to Islam during Turkish Ottoman rule, as did the Albanians.
***** it's actually the only pre-roman language that still exists in the Iberian Peninsula. They think it's the closest to what was originally the "Iber" language :)
It’s strange to recognize the sounds but not being able to distinguish the words.
I speak Spanish and listening to Basque is how I feel Spanish sounds like to non-Spanish speakers haha
Hahaha I've always thought how does Spanish sound to a nonspeaker, great example.
Ivan Baez Yes as someone who speaks a bit of Spanish I thought at first I was listening to Spanish and not getting all the words (and it was fast) but then realized it was not Spanish at all.

There is no relationship between euskera (basque language) and spanish or french except for borrowed words. Basque is much older than them and is considered one of the oldest languages of the oldest if not Europe.
If you hear speaking a northern basque, it can sound like french but a french will not understand what he is saying while a southern basque will.
There is no thing as languages older than others.

CHEMAPAMUNDI CHEMA Los bascos que yo he conocido ne sonaban muy " planos " hablando castellano , muy inexpresivos comparado con lo cantarines que somos los gallegos. Eran personas de la provincia de Guipuzcoa . No sé si ese es el caso general .
En el norte de Soria se han localizado lápidas de época romana del siglo I con nombres vascos como sesenko, en un tipo de euskera denominado Akitano, Aquitania es la denominación de la zona de vasco hablantes del Sur de Francia que casi llegaba hasta Burdeos... Hace 2000-años, los romanos los denominaban aquitanos...
He would be a perfect badass medieval Spanish conquistador chief. Has the most Spanish look imo, strong facial features but not extremely light-skinned+blue eyed+blonde like the northern euros
@Mar. L Well, how Spaniards are suposed to look?
@Mar. L Well, knowing most Basques live in the Iberian peninsule and have had contact with the rest of Spaniards, I'm pretty sure there are more than a few Spaniards who look Basquid. Well, some of them even carry a Basque surname.
@Mariana Leite Dement detected.
@Mariana Leite Como si los Vascos no fueran españoles. Además he visto caras como la de Xabi Alonso en otras partes de España, y en el extranjero, y no eran vascos. Además ¿qué es un vasco? Veamos que opina en el tema el Athletic Club de Bilbao que ellos sí saben ya que solo contratan a vascos. Y fijémonos en los hermanos Williams. Pues caras como las de dichos hermanos se encuentran en muchas otras partes de España, y también en el extranjero.
I've never listened to Basque before today. In this Xabi video, phonetically I'm hearing similarities to Scandinavian language and intonatons, primarily Icelandic -- it reminds me of watching Sigur Rós interviews. Interesting anomaly, this Basque...
+NappyAfro There is even a Basque-Icelandic creole language since basque have a whale and cod hunting tradition as did the Icelanders. Basques used to go to Iceland to hunt and trade. You can look it on wikipedia Im not kidding. There is even a Basque-Algonquin creole as well in the St Lauren area and Newfoundland in North America, where basques were also hunting and trading with whale and cod.
are you kidding me bruhh
ney, there was also a law, that was taken down a couple of years ago, that said that any icelander who encontered a basque should kill him instantly. Funny thing when I went to iceland the law was still up; but I wasn't harmed haha!
You must be joking. You have never heard Spanish, as spoken in Spain? Because it sounds exactly the same. And I have never heard anybody claim that Spanish sounds like Icelandic or any other Scandinavian language. If anything Spanish (from Spain) sounds more like Greek.
@@ivanmolero7829I assure you, I'm not joking. I assure you that a Basque person who knows only their own language could not communicate with a Spanish person who knows only their language-less so, even, than a French-Canadian person or a Louisiana or Haitian creole-speaking person could speak fluidly with a French person. And Basque language does not sound "exactly" like Spanish except for the inevitable but limited similarities in sound and maybe a relatively few words it has absorbed over time merely by its intimate adjacency with Spain (I'd bet that the Philippine languages, way over on the other side of the world, have more Spanish influence in them than Basque does). In fact, I'll maintain that in all their subtleties, if one listens closely, they sound VERY different from each other as obviously very different languages.
Unmixed, the Basque language, culture, and people have zero relation with Spain/Spanish-they're as different from each other as Irish is from English. They're not a 'type' of Spanish people, they belong to an ethnicity completely independent from the Spanish/Latin. They were there, in what we know today as Spain, before Spain or the Spanish/Romans were ever there, as was their language and culture, which have resisted assimilation/extinction fascinatingly well, all things considered. The two languages have completely separate origins and are not related in any way at their roots. In fact, the structure of the Basque language is so unique in standing alone in the world that no one yet has been able to conclusively connect it with any other known language, alive or dead-which is also to say that I'm not saying it necessarily has ties to any Icelandic/Scandinavian language, only that, to me, it sounds curiously & incidentally similar to Icelandic, but my analogies stop there. So no, I'm not joking. Apart from actual facts, I hear what I hear. And I have a pretty good, subtle ear.
(As a somewhat similar example/tangent: Portuguese is of course very similar in structure to Spanish because they share the same Latin roots. But to me they SOUND very different. Forget about the similarities in words for a minute-when I hear Portuguese spoken, even though Portugal borders Spain but not France, it SOUNDS more like French or even Russian to me. Alors…speaking of French, and to go on another tangent, I think Israeli people speaking English sound overall a LOT like French people speaking English…and those languages are not REMOTELY the same. But that's my take on it. Call me crazy (or joking), but that's what I hear.)
Furthermore, your aggressive condescending tone baffles me. Come at me bro? I may as well have offended your mother. If you can't pick up on the same subtleties in sound and language that I or others can, that's ok. I don't care. But there's no need to go aggro because what I said seems absurd to you. I hear what I hear. You hear what you hear. But I feel no inclination to try to put you down when you simply state what you hear if I happen to disagree. 🤷🏼♂️
I know it's not supposed to sound like any other language, but it kinda sounds like Spanish
Yes Spanish (castellano) and Basque (euskara) have exactly the same vogels because the people who created the romanic castillan language had probably basque speaking ancestors. The place of birth of spanish language is located between burgos and vitoria-gasteiz, probably in Haro village
This is what Im tinking, its spoken with a twange thats very much Spanish but yeah the words are completely different.
VbombzDaBomberman
Not at all, I find this stuff really interesting. Honestly I cant imagine Europe before the Indo-Europeans.
This may be partly true, but I think it's mainly because of Spanish influence on Basque. As evidenced by the fact that Basque spoken by French Basques sounds much more similar to French than Spanish.
French Basque accents have the occasion French twang to them, but they still sound like Spanish overall.
YES TEACH THIS TO THE CHILDREN MAKE THIS THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE
wow, basque sounds awesome
The accents really make it sound Spanish...you have to really pay attention to the words to realize it's something very different lol
The southern accent ;)
And northern accent might sound like french, especially in Lapurdi
It's Spanish sounding like Basque. Spain's phonetics has roots in the Basque language.
I didn't know he was Basque. The things you learn. Anyways, Basque sounds beautiful (even if I can't understand a word that's being said 😂)
maite zaitut* xDD
His full name is Xabier Alonso Olano,
Álvaro de Bazán
Xabi/Xavier is presumably of Basque origin.
St.Francis Xavier was supposedly of Basque origin.
that's because the "spanish" language ( as you call it) inherits the phonetics directly from the Basque. In other words when the Romans brought the Latin language to Hispania, the Vascones ( ancient Basques) who were already there tried to speak it, castellano came out. "spanish" is but a corrupted form of latin spoken with a "Basque accent".
Egia da! That's totally true!👏👏👍
When the Romans came, the majority of the population in what the Romans named Hispania were not Vascones, who just inhabited a corner up in the north and never got quite romanized. The Latin spoken in Hispania was not a corrupted form of Latin but the Latin that simple people spoke, Vulgar Latin, and Spanish developed later from that (and not "Spanish" and not "Spanish as you call it", although it was first known as Castilian or Castellano).
@@ivanmolero7829 The Iberians (who most probably were from the same Old European Sprachbund as the Vascones/Aquitanians) had a major impact on the latinized languages that became known as Ibero-Romance such as Castillian, Aragones, Catalan, Valencian and to a lesser extent, Galician-Portuguese.
el euskera es sumamente diferente al español, no se entiende una goma
no somos latinos
Es que a ver. No tiene ninguna relación ni con el español, ni con el francés.
Al castellano quieres decir. Español NO ES un idioma!
Wow, este debe ser el origen del acento castellano!! Aunque las palabras son distintas, los fonemas y la entonación son casi iguales. Qué hermoso :).
El euskera es muchísimo mas antigua que el castellano.
Los fonemas y entonación son iguales porque hubo mucha inmigración andaluza, gallega y castellana que influenciaron el acento del País Vasco.
@@lucasrosetti3449 lol no
Efectivamente. El castellano apareció por primera vez en una zona en la que se hablaba euskera, de hecho las primeras palabras escritas del euskera y del castellano aparecieron en el margen de un texto en latín, era la traducción de algunos párrafos. Y esa es también la explicación a que el castellano sólo tenga 5 sonidos de vocal. El euskera solo tiene 5 también. Sin embargo otros idiomas de origen latino tienen vocales abiertas, cerradas....

basque has nothing in common with any other language. It's considered a language "isolate". We know very little of the origin of the Basque language.
Spanish native here, it does sound like spanish or greek, (Just the pronunciation seems similar)
greetings, from Georgia (repab.) :)
Even though you can hear spanish pronouncing, Basque is the only isolated language in Europe and has no relatives to other languages worldwide.
This language comes from the Ice age era and survived the indo european era and Roman era.
Buenas, es curioso ver como a mucha gente no castellano parlante el euskera le suena de la misma manera que el castellano. Esto se debe a que el euskera que escuchan aquí es euskera batua (estándar) que es la unificación de muchos dialectos de esta lengua, la pronunciación también está estandarizada por lo que suena muy parecido al castellano. Las diferentes variedades de esta lengua para nada suenan así, es más, a algunos vascoparlantes como yo se nos puede hacer muy difícil entender a alguien de algún pueblo de Bizkaia o Gipuzkoa pero la prueba más evidente de esto esta en Iparralde (la zona perteneciente al estado francés) cuyo euskera suena a simple vista como la lengua francesa en pronunciación.
El euskera de Xabi es el central gipuzkoano. Es muy similar al Batua ya que la estandarización se basó en ese dialecto.
Bueno a ver, el euskera en muchas partes de Navarra es casi igual que el de "Iparralde" de esa parte de Navarra y Lapurdi. Y el del Roncal es casi igual que el de Zuberoa. Muchas veces generalizamos "Hegoalde" e "Iparralde" y en fin, que el euskera de gran parte de Navarra se parecería más a "Iparralde" que al de Bizkaia por ejemplo. Incluido el acento.
A mí también me cuesta entender el euskera de pueblos de Bizkaia o de Gipuzkoa occidental (de la oriental no) porque es de los más alejados al estándar, en castellano también me cuesta entender el castellano andaluz o el canario ojo, que parece que sólo pase en euskera esto.
Aquí Xabi Alonso habla euskera central que es uno de los que originan el estándar junto al navarrolabortano (incluyo al navarro aquí por lo que he dicho antes).

He speaks english, German, Spanish, and Basque.
And Bavarian, too. Learned from Müller. :)
I doubt that in such a small time period he could have learned a language from merely one person. Secondly, Bavarian is more of a dialect of the Upper German varieties.

Actual basque sounds like that, it's a very small group of speakers influenced by very big languages like spanish and french are. Of course there are a lot of Basque dialects which sound different compared to what Xabi speaks, but the Basque he speaks is authentic and real.
This is ACTUAL euskara.
Actually, Castellano came the vulgar Latin of the Visigoths. Basque influenced it, it didn't create it though.

You are right and wrong at the same time. I am a citizen of the kingdom of Navarre. I don't want to be Spanish French or from "euzkadi". We are not "basque" styled republicans Marxists or atheists. My country has a Bourbon monarchy descended from Henry 4 of Navarre a monarchy that also lays claim to the throne of france. WE are strong Catholics despite a corrupt pope assisting the Castilians and Aragon in destroying our country. In retaliation two of our monarchs became Huguenots. WE love God!
there are 'tt' and 'dd' sounds, that are very hard to pronounce for many not native people (Spanish hasn't anything like that xD). Even Spanish people can't pronounce 'x' right (like 'sh' in English)... And need to difference between 'z' and 's' (they may be sounding the same but a Basque can difference and pronounce in the right way)

si, no es el origen, pero el castellano moderno en algun momento asimilo los sonidos del vasco, el castellano antiguo se parece mas al portugues. El castellano moderno adopto esos sonidos bien marcados del vasco como la erre y la ka.

howerver hellenic or albanian is probably older.
What are you talking about? Albanian is at the earliest only mentioned at the start of the 11th Century CE, Basque has been mentioned by the Roman Empire, and there is some evidence that it may even extend back to the Stone Age... And what the hell is "howerver hellenic"? Hellenic languages are a group that include Ancient Greek and Macedonian as well as others, some of which are extinct...
IturaldeRodel Albanian is thought to be of Illyrian-Thracian origin but since no written form of this languages is found it is hard to say. It seems logical that Albanians are Illyrians because of names,places,customs. And it is mentioned since the 8th century by Bulgarians. Albanian, Greek and Basque are the only distinct languages spoken in Europe.
ScuderiaFan While I agree that Albanians are likely descendants of Illyrians, Dacians or Thracians, their language is not mentioned anywhere until the 13th C CE, and at the earliest possibly 11th C. I'd love to see the source for your claim of 8th C.
Also, the language is not nearly as "distinct" as Basque as it shares similarities to Greek and aspects of the Slavic languages. This is most likely due to their aforementioned origins, and historic association with Byzantium, during which time they were fully Christians. Today, they are mainly Muslims, following the rule of the Ottomans, however much of their mythology and folklore remains heavily influenced by the Slavs.
IturaldeRodel About the claim of the 8th century that is what a history teacher told me so I don't know if it is true or not. I'm Albanian and it doesn't share a similarity with any language especially Greek and Slavic. Yes it may have a couple of borrowed words from Romanian,Turkish and Latin but certainly not from Greek and Slavic. Some dialects have plenty of borrowed words but the standard language is very distinct. What other Europeans don't understand is that the religion of an Albanian is Albanism. Yes there are a couple of fanatics, but Muslims have built churches and Christians have built mosques. As for the mythology we have many distinct stories and legends but we mostly share similar stories with Bosnians. Saying that our mythology is heavy influenced is not true because it may be the other way around, after all we were here centuries before the Slavs.
ScuderiaFan Ok, I see why you are biased to believe the things you do. It's fine to be proud of your nation, but my suggestion is to find objective independent information if you want to truly educate yourself. Ask your history teacher for an independent peer-reviewed source for his claims. Better yet, open GoogleScholar and look things up for your self. My only other suggestion is to keep an open mind, and don't let your past influence and bias your learning.
Albania is a beautiful country with a rich culture, and I would love to visit it some day, but my suggestion to you is to have actual sources to back up your words. For example, I would love to see on what basis you claim that Albanians were "here centuries before the Slavs." As for Bosnians, they are actually Slavs (mostly Serbs I believe) who turned to Islam during Turkish Ottoman rule, as did the Albanians.
