I really admire how since prehistoric times the Basques have always strongly identified themselves as such through the ages and never lost their language and identity even with the strongest political/military and economic pressures and persecutions.
@berryblues please explain what you meant by that gibberish
Agree - it must be extremely difficult to hold on to their own Indigenous identity. But, they are doing an admirable job.
Half the population of the Basques have Rhesus Negative blood , which is very rare in the rest of the world. Im Rhesus Negative too, there are lots of theories about where it came from , but it is just as mysterious as the origins of the Basques.
Same! The research I’ve been doing on it lead me to Basque and I’m thinking about getting a DNA test done. My great grandfather was from Spain so I’m very curious now.
Beautiful. My mum was of Basque ancestry and she loved the ocean.
I’m basque and I love the ocean

Hey, I enjoyed listening to Basque, and as a Scotsman, respect the age of your heritage, as Scotland is one of the last cultural identies of Celtic. Here, we call the pre-celtic people that lived here, "Picts" who were probobly related to the Basques, and we still have stone circles made by them and place/personal names.
irish people's closest genetic ancestors are from the basque region.
Look at the Rh- factor, it means the whole of the UK's is closely related to the Basque's. The Rh- factor is strongest in the Basque people followed by the those living in the British Isles.
***** Well I'm English and have Rh- blood, as does 15% of the population of England, which isn't much less then wales, Ireland or Scotland.
*****
Recent DNA studies show that the original British DNA stock in England is still prevalent above the stock of all the invading forces, so showing the Angle, Saxon and Norse invasions didn't wipe out the local Britons, but rather took control of royalty, politics and institutions. I'm fascinated with genealogy so had a DNA test done which shows me to be British as British could be. I've traced one family line back to 15th c Sywell in Northamptonshire; family name being Darker which was a Anglo Saxon derogatory name for the Britons as they tended to be of a darker complection.

Don't talk like a cnut. Take a poll in any country and they will be different e.g. the Scots and Irish will poll badly towards the English, whilst most of Spain will poll badly against Catalonia, as the Poles will against the Germans. If you're gonna come on here to debate, at least use credible evidence and not huge sweeping generalisations.
The Paisa culture of Medellin, Colombia, is all from Basque men migrating there over several centuries. The Paisas of Medellin are all doers, coffee farmers, travel company operators, and founders all kinds of other enterprises. The Basques are most interesting!
Do tell more I appreciate the knowledge
Eso sí que no os permitire, eso de paisa es todavía peor.
In all of Colombia, 30% have Basque surnames, in Medellin it reaches 70% with Basque surnames and many customs and cultural aspects of Colombia and in particular Medellin are due to this.
This is my favourite video of the Basques who are Ruisco. Their dance, singing, rhythms, love of the sea, tartans, dress are like the Celts/ Gaels.The Ruisco clades are found mainly in the western side of the United Kingdom and the whole of Europe, which shows how ancient they are. There is even a link to language in the structure of the language to Gaelic. Cynthia Allen McLaglen
The origin of Britain were the Basque people ,90% of the Irish and 70% of the Scots are Ruscio as well.
Yes and most of Europe is dominated by the clades of Ruisco. They are the most ancient people and I also come from them originally.
Very interesting!
@Black Lesbian Poet Well my ancestor wuz black, that I know for certain. I am proud of her and the other people who came out of Africa and went along the Yemen coast to the Indus. She is related to me and many other females who were mutated in India and from there they went around the earth and began to change because they were not getting enough sun, and the right kind of food, so the darker skinned people died off and the pinker people stayed and multiplied. In Australia they stayed darker skinned because we need the protection with this skin from the hot sun. Cynthia Allen McLaglen
As I was listening, the sings sounded very Gaelic.
I just found out I am Basque. Well at least part Basque. Now I have a new language to learn! Yay!!!
Same here :3

yes the Irish and basque are the same DNA brothers you can say.
No were not!
As a nation, Australia has more of the Rh negative blood (19%, compared with 15% in Ireland - that is, the world average.) As an ethnic group, the Basque people demonstrated 21-43% of the negative factor (dependent on location). The highest percentage is among the Basque- speaking regions of their nation.
@@beth-rg8bm yes we are, it called black Irish because Spanish Men from Basque have Black hair and it's a fact through my DNA through my mother side of the Irish Family.

I'm Basque and Irish myself and genetically both bloodlines come from different area...does this mean there is no Basque blood in any Irish family... Obviously not... but they are NOT THE SAME!
And yes I'm rh negative A and 99% European!
@@christophercardono6274
Grandfather told me tales of Basque fishermen getting blown off course and ended up in Scotland and Ireland and intermarriage...they were not one race!
That's like saying all americans are Indian because they occupie the same country!
Mexican and I’m 10% Basque 😭 this is awesome
@Adam I also got 10% basque ethnicity. The last ancestor to be born in Mexico and lived in Mexico her whole life was my great grandmother and we had her do ancestry dna test when it came out years ago. It was right before she passed away. Her actual Mexican ethnicity ( Native American tribes from Mexico) was only 20%. 75 of her ancestry dna was mostly European DNA. When I checked the latest ancestry dna updates for my great grandmother her basque percentage was 20%.
I’ve been doing some research myself and it all started with the fact that during my pregnancy I found out I was an Rh negative blood type. My great grandfather is from Spain and I’m currently living in Texas with family from Mexico (Zacatecas by way of Chihuahua). I hope to get a DNA test soon. Maybe we might be related! 😮😊
Same 8% Basque 15% Portuguese 25% Spanish and 52% Indigenous Mexican
Actualy it is not even an Indo-European language! It is nearly mirracle it did survived that long! In fact it is the only Pre-Indo-European language still exists!
Long live Basques! Best wishes from the Caucasian Iberia(Georgia)!

Being Basque, its always fun watching others attempt to pronounce your last name 😁
National identity and self-determination for the Basque and all nations! I salute the Basque honor!
What the fuck are you talking about
Kraw1989 Dear Kraw, I`ll explain it to you, firstable, calm down please. What Basque Country claims is just to get back its own right of being basques, with an idiom wich origin is still unknown, stolen by Fascists, in former times, and also tortured in the not so far past. Let me tell you something: Nowadays, prestigious british and american antropologists, are still studying about this people. They wonder How, When, Where, Why ...etc. Lesson number one has ended. Have a nice day
1Fireskull run into you in the weirdest places on youtube bro. Lol. Yes, I also agree the basque should be allowed to have their own homeland. I did a DNA test and found out I was part basque, very interesting people.
Brandon Wright Y esa cuatribarrada de detrás?.La bandera catalana-valenciana.
Brandon Wright
Yes. They are our R1b brothers and sisters. If the majority of Basque want nationhood, then I say give it to them. They are a part of Spain from the Spanish Empire imperialism, but historically they had their own culture. Basque independence might be the quickest way of their leaving The European Union empire of Cultural Marxism with its MASSIVE immigration and selling Europe to the world.
As I remind people: Patriotism is rising in every nation of Europe now.
Peace and unity for our peoples!

Amazing land, people and culture, I'd love to learn more about them.
i just learned my dads side ancestry is Basque,hell even my last name gives it away. something that amazed me is how my last name is actually the name of the village in the Basque country,in where the people from that village that left to the new world carried the village name as their surname, so they can recall where their from.Im just amazed in how i always thought i just had Mexican ancestry.my dads side looks so white,gingers and colored eyes.that it help me see why we looked different.
Heyyy primo are you Saldivar?
very interesting . my driver who drove me to San Sebastián today did say the Surnames are usually after Mountains , places of nature etc. This entire area is mountainous , beautiful and well kept up.
There are many Basque surnames in Puerto Rico my last name is Irizarry all my life until just a few years ago people would ask me where my last name originated and it wasn't until I met a gentlemen from Ohio who told it was basque.
That's wonderful that you learned where your family name originated. Maybe you will travel there one day and meet more Irizarry family. It appears to be a beautiful and stable place.

The hypocrisy ...
@@justhold9324 Bonsnia and Albania - both carry names that derrived from illyrian. If there should be countries in Balkan, then Bosnia, Dalmatia, Albania. These names and tribes existed before Christ, before hellenization and romanization, chrstianization and islamization. There is no "muslim" DNA and evenothough a lot Bosnians and Albanians are muslims (NOT all tho!) - their countries are *secular!*
As for Albania; they were never fully hellenized, romanized, nor slavinized. Just like Basque were never romanized and preserved their roots.
Why do you guys have a problem with ppl that refuse to give up their true identities and mothertongues?
@@Mario-hx7iv
Actually not. Serbs and Croats are not "the same". They are linguistically the same, but language cannot reverse or change your DNA.
Bosnian Croats carry a lot I haplogroup (pre-germanic) in their Genetics - the highest frequency, Serbs carry about the half like Croats (pretty much the same as Albanians).
Which isn't only found in Bosnian Croats in very high frequencies, but also in _Bosniaks_ in the same frequency in ppl of Caucasus like Dargins (close related to Avars).
The Basques are not Celts. The Celts are Basques! LOL!
+54markl The Basque people genes are everywhere in Europe! Thy are in fact pre-Europeans!
+54markl You are definitely correct, I study Human Genetics in Michigan state. The Basque people are one of the original Europeans, a very ancient race.
+54markl They, and the surviving Celtic speaking peoples left in the British Isles, share the oldest DNA in Europe and are among the oldest peoples of Europe. Had the rest of Celtic Europe not been wiped out by the Romans and the later waves of Germanic invaders, it would be a very different world.
They have the old Cro-Magnon blood, and the Blood of the primordial Neanderthals who married them. The Nanderthals had bigger brains than Sapiens, Rh negative blood comes from him.
+54markl - That's what I call .... excrementos de toros ! ( please translate into English ! ). The homeland of the Celts
was southern Germany and the Czech Republic. The Basques probably came from Minor Asia or the Caucasus !
The Celts spoke a language that belonged to the Indo-European languages. The Basques NOT ! Think TWICE before saying nonsense !
I'm an english teacher, studying mandarin chinese... and makes me so sad that I can speak spanish (castilian), english and chinese, and I'm not able to speak euskera.
My grandfather told me once "We used to speak different when was a kid. Old people spoke a language, I could understand it back then, but I forgot it. Adults decided to forget it when we became settlers and came here" According to my researches, that language was euskera, and I've always wondered why they decided to forget it.
Because people assimilate to new countries a lot of time their language and customs are lost over time and replaced by those of the country they live in..
Forced to replace ir

I have Basque ancestry on my mother’s side. The family name is Echevarria. They settled in Puerto Rico.
Echevarria is Etxeberria in Euskera (Basque) and means New House. Most British people have some common genes with the Basques as they were thought to be a major part of the re-occupation of the British Isles after the last ice age.
Took a dna test and turns out I have Basque in me even though the percentage is extremely low. But my last name is actually Basque which is really cool and I’m Peruvian 🇵🇪🇺🇸

Basque people originated from the Armenians about 4000 years ago. There are over 600 words in the Armenian and Basque language that have same pronunciation and have same exact definition. Ancient Armenians were known to have the knowledge of smelting gold. The Basque people found plentiful gold in spain and named the land Basque or gold. Gold in Armenian is "voski" aka vosconian language or Basque language. basque > vasque > voski = gold.
I’m Cuban and I just found out by DNA that I have basque roots on me among others

Would love to give info to my 80+ yr old father.
The Basque people are suffering from French & Spanish colonialism just as Berber people are suffering from Arab colonialism. All of them deserve to build their own nations to preserve their own identities.

He forgot it because his parents came as settlers to southamerica and, for some sad reason, decided to forget about their origins, language, etc. So, as a little kid, it was obvious that without someone speaking around him, he was going to forget the language, even more once he became an adult. As an old man it was so frustrating for him to know the language only in his mind. So sad, but he said this was very common among basque settlers in southamerica.
I'm learning euskera because of him :)
Many basque people migrated to the american continent. Many people have basque genes (mixed with other genes) in many countries in the american continent. I most likely do. Basque surnames are all over Spain and latinamerica.
I am spanish and I know that part of me come from Euskadi, becuase that is the old tibes that live in Europe before the Glaciar Period. they are the oldest. So we are all partly Basque.

Eso es fácil, graba a un ebrio cantando en la calle.
Long before the Celts or Gaels called themselves that, or the Spanish called themselves Spanish, an ancient people came from the east. When the warmth of spring came, they walked towards the North West. They walked to what is now called Ireland and most of Ireland have cells with the Haplogroup R1b and later another mutation came and it was R1b-10 called Ruy and came to the British Isles.Another mutation came from Basqueland and France to Ireland and it was Rox, and it was R1B-9. which 93% have in Ireland. These are the ancient people of Europe.
The Spanish, only called themselves that after the Romans, named Hispania, their newly conquered land with slaves. Ruled for about 400 years, then Arabs brought into Hispania more culture and knowledge than the Romans ever did, for 700 years. Arabs had plenty of Harems in Spain, Al andalus.
Johnny Goode Spaniards did not mix with berebers(arabs who conquered spain)....In fact they were all sent away or killed withg the catholic kings,like jews.So Spaniards are before romans....They were just soldiers and then killed or spelled out.No racial mixture with northern africa.Look at any youtube adn halogroup video
and you will see Italians are more africans than spaniards.First study history man.
Ximo Castello With the exception of Basque, the tribes in Iberia lost their Native tongue. Spanish without Latin(Italy) does not exist, also there are thousands of Arabic words incorporated into spanish. Arabs are very sexual with women and for 900 years they became spanish as anyone else. So, it was a civil war backed by the Pope and Vatican army and not a "Reconquest". The Vatican murdered inoccent people.
Increible tu ignorancia.......Vamos avwer,los bereberes(arabes) fueron expulsados,no hubo mixture entre cristianos y arabes,la historia lo dice...entonces berlin seria rusa despues de la segunda guerra mundial...when the arabs went gone away ore were killed Spain was reconquered by cristians from northern Spain,french,occitan people,etc.,some german and francs.Do u see arabs in the spanish football team,Pau Gasol,fernando alonso,Fernando Torres,kasillas,have you ever visted Spain?.oh man.....so ustupid,you must be anglosaxon or yankee.Even brittish adn is more common with spaniard than with the germanic people,see some youtube halogroup DNA.
That's probably true. Everyone asks me if I am Spanish because I am dark but actually I am over 80% Irish and Scots. I only have 2% Scandinavian and it explains a lot - we've always been quite afraid of the Viking types.
It is so strange to me that I have Basque ancestry on my mother’s side and despite not being able to swim, anyone who knows me, knows that I am happiest by the sea. My mother felt the same way. I did not know about the sailor/maritime tradition in the Basque culture. Perhaps it is in the DNA to love the sea.
You have the same blood as the Irish on the west coast of Ireland!
You like:
Traditional music
Dance
Rowing
Sailing
Handball.
Do the math!
Only question is?
Where did the people from the west coast of ireland come from?
Displaced from a sunken island 9000 years ago perhaps ? Maybe Ireland is that island? Follow the blood line around the world... goes as far as New Zealand (pre Maori) same stories and myths with fairies and giants. Flood myth strong? We have Cu chulainn in our mythology in Ireland and the Yucatec Mayans have Ku kulkan.
I discovered today Madrid used to be called Ursaria. What is Basque for water and what is Basque for prize? Ur
And Saria right? The Moors named Madrid after water because it's where rivers met.
History books tell us something about latin for bears or some rubbish!
The tone of your language is familiar to me. Understanding not great but the music in your words is similar to Irish!

@@anaworld4354 the Basque country is called Basque country for a reason lol
@@nile8686 It is an autonomous community, not a country.
@@anaworld4354 i live here lol and thats what we identify as
@@nile8686 But you're not every Basque person. The only official thing is that the Basque Country is an autonomous community.
80% of Colombians from Antioquia and Medellín region also called the paisas are of Basque ancestry, they made DNA studies on antioqueños as well.
@David Rodriguez I'm from Antioquia I'm third generation basque and It's true most of people here (not all) are of basque ascestry.
in argentina there are basques comunities
Absolutely beautiful people and language!💜🙏🌻😂. Brought tears to my eyes for some reason..
Estáis en lo cierto, más bellos que los neandertales, joder
The Basques were excelent seafeares, they were hunting whales around the north western pacific area years before anybody at the time.
Wait how did they do that from Europe?
The most popular surname in Spain is Garcia from Basque origin, because when moors were expelled after reconquista the colonization of South of Spain was made by North Population. This is the main cause why 90% of Spanish DNA have R1b and there are a lot of RH- blood in all spain. After that many spanish Conquerors of America were Basques like Pizarro and Others, R1b exist too in countries like Mexico, Peru, or Chile..

Having a basque grandfather doesen't make you basque, being born in the basque country does, and he wasn't. He had some basque origin, but he wasn't basque.
That's true. I am from Seville, a city that received a lot of Basques, and I have a Basque surname.
this atittude will not help u to survive into the next thousand years. being rude and reactionary is basque culture? i dont think so. i have basque pals who are laid back and not IDIOTS about this stuff.
Wait the Irish and the Basque have a connection? That's quite interesting, never heard that before. I've got quite a bit of Irish ancestry.
Uh, pardon your ignorance, but Basque country DOES have a population large enough to have their own country. 2.6 million people. That's about as much as Albania, more than Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia, and Armenia.
I like the language and I like their story. I'm not even affiliated with Basque or Europe in any way, other than the fact that I'm a White American. And, to me, The Basque language and culture are something that is valuable and needs to be preserved.
Learned I was 7% Basque from my DNA test, trying to learn more about this fascinating lineage. It's definitely my favorite ❤
Basque women are beautiful 🤩
Man I want to go there!!!!!
Se trata de la cultura del pueblo vasco en España y Francia. Mi mamá es de origen vasco
I'm British and I can definitely say that most of these people look British. I think we us Brits though, we're just a huge mix. I honestly don't look anything like these people, I have blonde hair and blue eyes, but my grandmother is Irish, black hair and blue eyes like many Basques. Fascinating stuff!
My grandfather is from Castille and Leon and he has white skin, black hair and blue eyes, my grand grand father was a ginger. All the north of Spain is like this, I can assure you that.
The Basques look exactly the same to the rest of Spain, lol.
I am from Nuevo Mexico USA and my Grandfather had Blond hair blue eyes, we are Spaniard Basque that came down from Iñigo Arista who had close ties to the British, I have 10% British isle DNA.
that is cos..the basques were ancient atlantians/latin/greek origin
later that same part of atlantis..turned into uk!
The Basques, Welsh and Black Irish have similar features which may also be shared with some Pacific islanders. Facinating.
There is an island off the coast of Japan that has an ancient people living there. Not very many of them left. There language has many similarities with the Basque language. They used to live on the main island of Japan but were removed by the Japanese to the smaller island. I'm not sure what any of this means but it would be interesting to test their dna.
The Aino people?
I'd say the Galicians(North-western Spain) have more connection to the Irish, due to their Celtic background of the Bretons who weent there. I see the Basques as just the original people of that area in Northern Spain and South-western France.
I have a lot of heritage from the different regions of Spain. Basque is part of it through my fathers side.
My mothers side is a lot of Galician.
Love getting to know the cultures, hope to visit the regions some day.
I think the Basque people are a remnant of the indigenous people who managed to survive the Celt people migration to and through Western Europe and into Britain. The Black Irish share the same blood type.
As pre-indoeropean ppl, they are previous to celts.

txeba Gonzalez Egia galanta
Mr Jm You speak basque
Egia da hori... Hainbat guda egon dira , baina aurre egin zieten gure arbasoek, euskal hizkuntza eta kultura ezabatu nahi zituzten guda horiei , eta biak biziraun zuten ... eta orain, gudarik egon barik ... Askok ez dute euskaraz mintzatu nahi eta hala ere euskaldunak direla diote... lotsagarria da nire ustez
I have Rh- .and o- blood type. I do believe We are more compassionate and interested in the human condition and I am very independent. But would love to meet the one for me. Sooner than later. Lol.

I love Basque people. I went to Basque Country for my holiday, they are so warm and gentle.
I lived in the basque village of Sare, one of the most beautiful villages of France. I know the french basque country very well. Stunning!
The Basques best sailors in the world past present and future.
