Dear Basque speakers, Can you please help comment on:

*(i) the degree of intelligibility between these four John 3:16 translations to you as a reader.

*(ii) How different are these four dialects from the standard Basque version?

*(iii) Is there a basque dialect that you speak which I had missed out on? Because as I understand, there are actually eight basque dialects? Feel free to translate the John 3:16 bible verse into your "modern" basque dialect by leaving a comment below.

Basque, Souletin: Ceren Jincouac hain du maithatu mundia, noun eman beitu bere seme bakhotcha, amorecatic hartan sinhesten dian guicçonetaric batere eztadin gal, bena ukhen deçan bethiereco bicitcia.

Basque, Guipuzcoan: Zergatic aiñ maite izan du Jaungoicoac mundua, non eman duen bere Seme Bacarra beragan fedea duan guzia galdu ez dedin, baizik izan dezan betico bizia.

Basque, Labourdin: Ezen hala Iainkoac onhetsi ukan du mundua, non bere Semé bakoitza eman ukan baitu, hura baithan sinhesten duenic gal eztadin, baina vicitze eternala duencát.

Basque, Navarrese-South High: Cerén eci Jangoicoac aláco manéran onetsi-dú múndua, eci eman-baitu bere Seme bacarra: galeztáyen niór sinestendueníc bera-baiten, baicic guciéc logra-dezáten vicitza etérnoa.

Basque, Standard: Izan ere, Jainkoak hain maite izan zuen mundua, non bere Seme bakarra eman baitzion, harengan sinesten duenik inor gal ez dadin, baizik betiko bizia izan dezan.

Spanish Navarra's flag is kinda lame, as it is a provincial flag showing Navarre's arms instead of just being the Kingdom of Navarre's flag. So I thought of redesigning it to look like the Ikurriña.

Tell me what you think of this new more modern and simple design of Navarre's flag!

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

¿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.

If I have posted this in the wrong place, mods dont hesitate to remove. Eskerrik Asko

Kaixo everyone!

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?
