Lindsey's version of the Basque Language

**Note - All facetious comments will be deleted** My good friend Lindsey preparing for a presentation in her Basque language class. This is not her making fun of the Basque language, so if you're offended - pound sand. Get ready for your ears to bleed!

By the way, and just out of curiosity, why did you chose the Basque language?

[weisseslicht]

We live in San Sebastian... Actualmente estudiamos castellano y nuestro programa en UPV/EHU tiene cursos de Euskera y Castellano. Esta clase en particular es sobre la cultura vasca y ella ha aprendida pocas frases en Euskera. Nos encanta el pais vasco y la gente. He pensado que el video fue muy divertido y he puesto aqui para ella y sus amigos en los estados unidos que quieren ver su 'progreso', jaja.

Very funny, but I must confess I understood the English version much better, in spite of being Basque. Good try though

[weisseslicht]

Haha! I think the Basque professor understood the English version better too. Basque can be a tough language to learn, so the attempts are always entertaining.

I could probably understand to a greater degree when you should speak Basque than if you should speak English, because as with most foreigners, you more than likely butcher my language. I am English, bye bye

I see you misinformed people on different video as well -_-

Basque is a language isolate, which means that it is in no way related to any other language. It has nothing to do with Afro-Asiatic languages such as Arabic and Berber.

[nanako0590]

No, this is basque language, comes from Maghreb, it's a kind of an arabized berber language imported during the invasion of Italy by Hannibal. It's been spoken in Southern Europe, not too far from Africa.

[Ghogii]

Well,,,there is a lot to do with the pronuntiation.

You should look for the phonology (phonemes & alophones) of Basque Standard (called Batua).
