why exactly? I can't see why a language with no family and therefore nothing to be compared to may be more interesting to study than a language like Russian where you can study the similarity with so many other different languages and must try to understand which language came first, and how the "mother" language of them all looked and sounded like. Enlighten me.

Yeah i was wondering what dialect of basque it is, sounds much more archaic and surprisingly less Spanish that Euskara batua. Very strong nasalized and palatalized pronunciation. I find this dialect even more beautiful than standard basque.
@@GeoCrusaderindeed, the Biscay dialect (bizkaiera) is one of the most distinct dialects of Basque. The pronunciation and the grammar deviate quite a lot form Standard Basque (batua). Also, this sounds like an older speaker. Younger generations sound a bit more Spanish-like.

Забавно, что есть две гипотезы (внимание, ГИПОТЕЗЫ, не ТЕОРИИ) о их родстве с индоевропейскими языками: 1) Баскский и Индоевропейские языкм восходят к общему предку; 2) Бурушаски на самом деле самый рано отделившийся индоевропейский язык. Об этих интересных вещах можно посмотреть ролики на англоязычном канале Learning Hittite, где автор не только рассказывает о хеттском языке, но и разных лингвистических теориях и гипотезах.
It's absolutely impossible to know of any relationship between Basque and Indo-European languages, unless someone literally MAKES UP a supposed "proto-language" to link the two. We must just accept that some human groups developed their own branch of human speech. I think it's futile to look for "language ancestors" to which there will never be any factual evidence whatsoever, and the supposed reconstructed language will not be less artificial and insatisfactory than Esperanto. Ie, something fake, something made up. If there was any relationship between, say, Basque and Indo-European or Basque and Navajo (???), the wise guys who study linguistics in depth would already have demonstrated that. But I guess you can say anything is related to anything, as long as no-one will ever know what primitive human language actually sounded like.
They’re not, although Basque has some things in common with some Caucasus languages I believe but no relationship has been established. Burushaski has even less in common with anything.
Isolate languages are very curious , for example across American Continent there have been thousands of isolate languages many of which already disappeared , likewise in Eurasia there have also been thousands of isolate languages many of which already disappeared but the mysterious thing is that none of them show any kinship among themselves , it seems the Indo-european languages despite their vast varieties to be the only language family both qua its expansion and qua their rich literature as well as their evident kinship to have won the Darwinian " Survival of the fittest " contest .

The comparison is completely futile. No similarity whatsoever. Japanese and Korean or Japanese and Chinese would be a more interesting comparison, even though both are not related, there are at least some cognates.
That is also interesting that none of those languages (Japanese and Korean and Chinese ) demonstrate a common origin and as such even each of Japanese and Korean may be categorised as Islote languages .
@@majidbineshgar7156 yes, I know Japanese and Korean can be regarded as isolate languages, as there are no relationship with any other language families, the only languages close to them could also be classified as dialects. They are two quinte interesting languages.

I find interesting that the version of Basque shown here is the biscaian dialect, not the standarised language that it's usually shown.

Great video duo.
Can we get proto basque
Great idea! Andy could make a video on Aquitanian too.
It was related to Basque, it seems.
@@pabloalvez915 Yes, it was if I remember correctly but I do not know if it got preserved.
That would be so f interesting!!!!! @@pabloalvez915
Burushaski is highly influenced by local languages like Shina and Urdu
And Basque is influenced by French and mainly Spanish.
@@Nevrits mainly influenced by latin, spanish is influenced by basque ( only on modern times the other way )

Есть ещё гипотеза, что баскский, бурушаски, сино-тибетские, северо кавказские, на-дене, енисейские языки образуют одну макросемью
Баскский тоже немножко напоминает очень рано отделившийся индоевропейский, если судить по цифрам

Basque🇪🇸🇫🇷 Burushaski🇵🇰🇮🇳
why the Indian flag? there are no burushaski speakers in India cuz they're only native to Pakistan
@@BeyondMagicalit is spoken in the Hari Parbat region in India as well
Really?@@_Jay_Singh
I love how basque and burushasri is spoke miles away
Can you do Balochi vs Sanskrit?
Burushaski words seem to have a lot of "L" sounds, I see a lot of Urdu and Persian words in Burushaski but they are obviously borrowed words.
Yes
Could you make Taiwanese Chinese and Japanese?
Beautiful language video you got here andy
How similar are these languages to other different languages?
They’re not, although Basque has some things in common with some Caucasus languages I believe but no relationship has been established. Burushaski has even less in common with anything.
As they're isolates, is there any links or relationship of these languages, yes or no?
Dené-Caucasian language hypothesis
No
We have to do Tosk Albanian?
Request: Estonian and Japanese?
Nothing in common
obviously, language isolates!

Why i can understand Burushashki as a Hindi Speaker 🇮🇳
you're lying you can't! a Urdu speaker might understand like 3% of it but impossible for a Hindi speaker
@@BeyondMagical I'm not lying even though i can understand only 5%
It is because of Persian and Arabic loan words in this language that you as a Hindi speaker can get some words.
May be you understood only these
