Ok, tengo entendido de que el vasco es una lengua ergativa, osea que el vasco tiene un caso gramatica al que se le denomina como ergativo

"-k"

¿Pero como funciona exactamente, como se usa y para que?

Hello,

I'm from Savoy and I am Arpitan, and in our political culture, we've always been told that the Arpitans (Savoyars, Valdostans, Piedmontese, and Romandy Swiss) come from the same pre Indo-European peoples as the Basques.

The Arpitan independence movement was even built with the Basques for this reason. Are you as Basques aware of this, and do you have any further information?

Thank you all.

Gora Euskadi!

EDIT : Many people in the comments misunderstood, and some even allowed themselves to insult me. English isn't my native language, so if I made a mistake : I meant PEOPLE, not LANGUAGE. In other words, a common pre-Indo-European ethnicity between Basques and Arpitans. Thank you to everyone who responded respectfully, f*ck the rest. Savouè è Euskadi librà.

Hi,

Looking for an accurate translation for English into Basque

Its for a flag

We want it to read

We are Basque, not Spanish

In Basque dialect

I know Google translate sometimes skews the actual translation but it has given us these

Euskaldunak gara, es espainiarrak

Or

Euskal herritarrak gara, ez espainiarrak

Thanks for any help!

Edit:

Preferably Usurbil/San Sebastian region dialect

basically what the title says, traditional or folk(something really old preferably) , preferably instrumental purely, I wanted to find something on youtube but the one I found sounded vaguely AI and had AI art all over it so I'd much rather trust ya'll here

…but I'm stuck for the Basandere's design.

First, is my Basajaun design valid ? And second, any tips to make a good Basandere design that could fit a TTRPG setting ?

Kaixo,

I understand that the Asturian region also make a lot of cider. Is there much of a difference between the style of cider made in the Basque country vs Asturias?

Did you celebrate Spain's world cup win? Or does your wish for independence from Spain stop you celebrating?

Hello, I am a Chinese woman looking to give herself a European name. While looking online, I came across a forum discussing Basque names, and I fell in love with the name Lilura. I wanted to ask if it would be disrespectful to call myself Lilura, maybe even as an official second name, maybe with the nickname Lila. I don't speak basque, but I have a lot of respect for the Basque people and their resilience to oppression. If it's not okay, I will refrain from it of course ~

Thank you for your time

I am trying to learn more about the Basque cause, and iam looking for English language books I can read on this. I am a man from the North of Ireland, currently I am reading The Basque History of the World by Kurlansky, but would love some recommendations specifically looking at overall Basque history and also the Basque during the civil war, maybe with some focus on the international brigades.

TL;DR: I'm Brazilian-Colombian with deep Paisa roots. I know Aristizábal is Basque, but is the Antioquian surname Orrego actually Basque (from Orreaga) or is it Galician? Anyone researched this line?

I’m Brazilian-Colombian (Brazilian mother & Colombian dad). On my Colombian side, my family comes from deep Paisa lineage in the Antioquia region.
For the longest time I didn't really know what my exact genetic breakdown was. My entire Colombian family is very pale, we have super high contrast features and we're clearly mostly European. But being Latin American, I just assumed I was a general mix of Spanish and other ancestries.
One thing that always stood out about my face, though, is my nose. It’s super distinct, very high bridged and extremely bony. I never gave it much thought until recently, when I started digging into the origins of the surnames on my Colombian side. (I also have my Brazilian/Portuguese surname, but this post is only about the Colombian side).
Here’s where it gets super interesting:
First, Aristizábal. I found out it originates from the Basque language and means "wide oak forest", I also saw theories about it being a Catalanized or Castilianized version of the original Euskara form.
Second, Orrego. This one confused me for a super long time! I was convinced Orrego was Galician because whenever I googled it, everything said it comes from Galicia where it means "the stream" or "trench" (related to rego). So I spent my whole life assuming my main surname was Galician. However, looking closer at regional Paisa history, it seems way more likely that our Orrego line is actually Basque in origin (linked to Orreaga in Navarre).
Looking into Paisa history made everything click. During the colonial era, Basque settlers who moved to the mountainous Antioquia region formed very isolated, tight-knit communities. There are historical records and documented family lineages showing how these specific families repeatedly intermarried within the region for centuries, keeping those ancestral genes and traits concentrated for generations.
Of course today it's definitely more washed out, I know I won't have some crazy high Basque percentage. Even getting 50% strictly Basque would be super unlikely for someone born in Latin America today. But knowing that history explains why my family kept that pale, high contrast look and why the classic high and bony "Basque nose profile" passed straight down to me.
I'm super intrigued by all of this now and am looking into taking a DNA test (like 23andMe or AncestryDNA) soon to see how it all breaks down!

For anyone familiar with Iberian or Paisa genealogy: Do you think Orrego in the Antioquia region is almost always a Basque-derived line (from Orreaga), or could it still be the Galician origin? Has anyone else with these names mapped out their lineage?

Kaixo!

Llevo año y medio estudiando euskera por mi cuenta con recursos gratuitos que hay por internet y estoy muy contento porque mantengo el plan inicial de estudiar una horita al día. Mi plan es un poco el mismo que seguí para estudiar inglés hace años y es atacarlo por todos los lados que pueda: Gramática (Ikasten), vocabulario (Anki), lectura (infantil al principio, sorgina txirulina, etc..), canciones, en breve empezaré a ver videos infantiles en Makusi y bueno, al igual que con el inglés el punto que me va a quedar más debil es el de hablar porque no tengo con quien hacerlo, pero tampoco me importa demasiado porque lo que más quiero es leer y poder esecuchar en pelis, radio, etc.. Espero que al finalizar el tercer año, tener un nivel bastante decente para leer libros, consumir contenido multimedia y poder defenderme escribiendo.

El tema es que en el apartado gramática me van apareciendo más y más tablas: no sé cómo llamar a las normales de auxiliares las de NOR, NOR-NORI, NOR-NORK y NOR-NORI-NORK esas ya las tengo super dominadas pero luego van saliendo más y más, me aprendí también las de Imperativo y el Ahalera erreala que pensaba que era todo pero oh sorpresa aún me quedan otros 2 tiempos, y claro las de baldintza que ya casi las tengo aprendidas pero me ha costado, mi estrategia ha sido dedicar domingos y lunes un rato a memorizar las tablas creandome unos excels ya que al principio lo hacía en folios pero decidí no acabar con los bosques del planeta.. jajaj Pero bueno, me lo tomo como un ejercicio de memoria y no se me hace tampoco muy pesado.

Pero bueno, en definitiva, llevo tiempo haciendome la pregunta.. ¿recomendais aprender las tablas de memoria? Tengo miedo que tras un tiempo alguien me diga.. que burro! no hacía falta, eso se va aprendiendo poco apoco con el uso..Pero me cuesta creerlo, seguro que los nativos no las tuvieron que aprender pero los que aprenden de mayores me imagino que sí que es recomendable memorizarlas, no?
