PO1 Tony Holland I'm No I-Brancher Like Your Daughters but as a History Freak this is Fascinating. Basque DNA Wise Appear to be Quite Spanish but Linguistically they do appear at least to Some Degree Armenian. That is Fascinating.

PO1 Tony Holland
"Euskara, the Basque language, is a mystery12. It has no known origin or relation to any other language, which has stumped linguistic experts for ages1. It is linguistically distinct from French, Spanish and indeed any other language2. The dominantly upheld theory by many Basques is that their ethno-linguistic origin is isolated, and their language and DNA are unique3. It is thought to derive directly from hunter-gathers who came to this area long before Neolithic farming entered the region 7,500 years ago"...

Basque are interesting people. Two ladies in my Nursing class were Basque, they were sisters. There family were sheep farmers in Montana. They some what people isolated. They were Catholic but only went to mass or had baptisms when a Basque speaking priest came from Spain. The people were hard working and independent.
