>language isolateGive me a fucking break. What's the real story here?
>>17437186Hebrew exclaveUnironically.
Iron age Iberians that weren't Romanized. Nothing more.
>>17437187Basque - Welsh cognatesBasque: Eguzki (Sun)Welsh: Egwyl (Interval, Break)Hebrew: Ezkor (I will remember)Basque: Gaztelu (Castle)Welsh: Castell (Castle)Hebrew: Kasem (Castle)Basque: Aita (Father/Dad)Welsh: Tad (Father/Dad)Hebrew: Av /Abba (Father/Dad)Basque: Txiki (Small)Welsh: Tecach (Small)Hebrew: Chiki (Term of endearment for someone Small)Basque: Lur (Earth, Soil)Welsh: Llur (Earth, Soil)Hebrew: Lachor (Land)Basque: Zulo (Hole)Welsh: Twll (Hole)Hebrew: Tohel, Tohelet (Crawl, Worm)Basque: Borda (House)Welsh: Bwthyn (House)Hebrew: Beth (House)
>>17437198so basques are just joos?
>>17437242>Omri/Khomri (king of Israel) dynasty lasts until 722BC when the assyrians conquered and dispersed the people>Assyrian documents refer to them as Khumry>Khimmirai/Gimmirai/Cimmerians appear in Assyrian records during the reign of Sargon II (722-705BC)>Cimmerians are known from Herodotus to be driven westward out of their lands around the Black Sea (modern Crimea takes its name from them) by other Scythians>Cimmerians disappear from historical records around 6th century BC>Celts spontaneously appear in historical records around 6th century BC>Celts exit historical records (or, more accurately, are dispersed into various subgroupings) around 5th century AD>Welsh (Cymry) appear in historical records around 6th century AD from Celtic originsAre these related?
>>17437242>>17437246The full journey Herodotus outlines has Cimmerians moving around the pillars of herakles, up the western coast of Europe. Homer says of the Cimmerians:>All day long her sails were full as she held her course over the sea, but when the sun went down and darkness was over all the earth, we got into the deep waters of the river Oceanus, where lie the land and city of the Cimmerians who live enshrouded in mist and darkness which the rays of the sun never pierce neither at his rising nor as he goes down again out of the heavens, but the poor wretches live in one long melancholy night.Pretty consistent with the British Isles, wouldn't you say?
>>17437254I say old bean, we used to be Conan the Barbarian and whatnot!
>>17437186They likely descend from the Iberians of the Caucus since it doesn't work with the Celtic conquest of Gaul which would imply these violent conquerers simply marches through the Basque Country and did no raids there
>>17437293That is correct
>>17437378>Caucus
>>17437198These words arent even similar.
>>17437812That's what the ancient Greeks called the Caucasus. The Basques are very closely related to the Oghuz people, basically they're Iberian Chechens. Pic related is how they celebrate Ramadan in Bilbao
>>17437839>The Basques are very closely related to the Oghuz peopleNo they're not. Not even close. Basque are a relic population of iron age Iberians genetically and probably linguistically. EEF derived language, just like the Etruscans and paleo sardinians.
>>17437186Basques are literally just like their neighbors but the isolation of the mountains allowed an EEF language to survive, albeit with plenty of Indo-European influence.
>>17437187so, just like the rest of Heberia/Iberia?
