What I have realized is that the only branch among Turks (besides the Khalaj) preserving the PIE and Basque radical consonant [h-] is the Bashkir language, which is spoken by the Bashkirs and who are known for their highest R1b frequencies in Asia:



And there is quite another phenonem in the endoethnonyms of the Basque and Bashkir peoples. Bashkir is composed of two words: Bashk- (endoethnonym) and -er ('people'), Bashk is quite similar to Bask/Basque. "Basque" comes from French basque (“Basque”) which in turn derives from Latin Vascones, a Roman era tribe in the Franco-Cantabrian region of southern Europe who were ancestors of the current Basque population. So what do you think? Discuss!

_______________________________

Basque bizi 'alive, living; life' PRE-BASQUE: *bizi 'alive, living' at page 18:



Compare with Turkic: yaş, yaşa- 'to live, age; year', yavru 'young baby child or animal'

Proto-Turkic: *jāĺ ('young') or *jāĺ ('fresh, raw').

Next. Basque egun 'day; today' PRE-BASQUE: *egu(-n) 'day; sun' at page 19:



Compare with Turkic: bugün 'today', gün 'sun, daylight, day'.

Proto-Altaic: *gi̯òjńu 'dawn, daylight'

Proto-IE: *gʷhai- 'light, bright'

also compare Turkic: dün 'yesterday', which is quite similar to Turkic tan 'sky, daylight', hence forming Turkic Tengri 'god'.

Next. Basque ibai 'river', PRE-BASQUE: *ibai 'river' at page 21:



Compare with Turkic: hïw, sub, suv 'water; body of water, reservoir, basin; running water, water supply, water service'.

Proto-Turkic: *sɨb 'water'
Proto-Altaic: *si̯uba 'water'

Next. Basque itz, hitz 'word', PRE-BASQUE *[h]itz 'word, speech, language' at page 21::



Compare Turkic: hüð [ð= th - z] 'word, speech', söz 'word, speech'.

Proto-Turkic: *söŕ 'word, speech'

_______________________________

more to come... Basque zur 'wood', sei 'boy or child', izar 'star' are also quite similar to Turkic forms. I will present them later.

[Kale]

Bashkir:Basque

Father - ata:aita
Child - bala:Umearen
Dog - et:txakur
Who - kem:nor
1st - min:lehenengoa
You - hin:zu
They - ular:dute

Not really seeing it.

[Xochi]

I don't see any thing in common.

Basque: jan

French: manger
Catalan: menjar
Occitan: manjar/minjar
Romanian: mânca
Spanish: comer
Portuguese: comer
Galician: comer

English: (to) eat
Dutch: eten
Afrikaans: eet
German: essen
Norwegian: spise
Swedish:äta

[Proto-Shaman]

Next. Basque izar 'star', PRE-BASQUE: *izar 'star', Proto-Basque *asar at page 22:



Compare with Chuvash Turkic şa'lta'r, and common Turkic juldız.

Proto-Turkic *jul-duŕ (*-dɨŕ)

And know imagine *jul- + *-dɨŕ = Euroasiatic *j-dɨŕ without -ul-. This is my suggestion. Also imagine Chuvash şa'lta'r without -al- = şta'r !!!

Next. Basque se- 'boy, child' at page 25:



Zai in Pashto means 'descendant', and in Avestan it is similar with zoi 'offspring'. It is most likely from a Proto-Turkic source, cf. Old Turkic soy ("ancestry, descent, kin, tribe, progeny")

Next. Basque zur 'wood' at page 26:



Compare Turkic direk 'beam, mast, pale, pillar, tree'.

Proto-Turkic: *dẹrek, from Proto-Turkic: *dīre-

[Proto-Shaman]

You - hin:zu

Proto-Turkic *sẹ- (thou). Altaic: pl. *sU-.

Indo-European: *-si ending of the 2d p.
Kartvelian: *si-
Chukchee-Kamchatkan: *-šǝ

all forms are from Eurasiatic: *si

[Proto-Shaman]

I don't see any thing in common.

Basque: jan

Turkic yemek, yem 'meal, food, fodder' ye-/je- 'to eat'

[Aldaris]

I don't think, the Bashk/Basque similarity means anything, since the word "basque" is of romance origin, we don't even call ourselves "Basques", or somehow similar. The word is Euskaldunak.

I also heard that you call your country "abar (avar)" or "iber (iver)", is that correct?

[Proto-Shaman]

Here is an interesting video about facial similarities between Bashkir, French, Spanish and English people:

No, I've never heard anyone using it.

Btw, in euskara, there is no "v", "b" is used instead, so "avar" or "iver" aren't correctly generated words.
