Tut tut tut :D bad spelling and bad selection of basques' pictures...
although Julen Guerrero (1:55) was my platonic teenage love :love: for a few years :D

Not Oppenheimer's theory again. It's so outdated. :(

Everyone knows that the Celtic languages weren't the original languages of Britain :confused:

Lol @ the bad spelling. :D

[Sahson]

Ken can you please care to expand how it is outdated. I personally think that Irish, Cornish, and Welsh coming from north spain, and west france is very possible.

Wasn't Western Europe repopulated by peoples from what is now Spain & Portugal at the end of the last ice age? Though this predates, by millenniums, the emergence of a Basque, Spanish, British or English ethnic identity.

By some theories, Basques used to inhabit entire Western-Europe, until the Indo-Europeans came.

Genetics seems to prove this. Welsh people and Basques are genetically quite similar for some reason.

Here is a song by Carlos Nuñez he is from Galicia, it has some celtic influence, sounds very Irish in a way..

Aren't the Basque and Welsh European? Or are they the American Indians of Europe? Not that I'm insinuating they are Indian but that their situation is similar, if they are not European.

Indo-europeans were also european, according to the Kurgan theory

Yes. And that's why the mtDNA H1, H3, V which are original from Iberia, are so frequent in Europe

[Beorn]

The Welsh are just as English as the English.

It's not unusual to have English genes at anytime...duh duh duh duh...It's not unusual to be English...it's not a crime... duh-duh-de-duh...but when I see you hanging about with Plaid Cymru... it's not unusual to see me cry: "You're English".

Aren't the Basques, European? Because they're not Indo-European?

Lol. Unfortunately Dave, language and culture has a lot to differentiate you and me from each other. We're both British you fool - it's just that you lack the ability to speak the Language of Heaven (http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/welsh_language/71964) :p

You fool! :lol00002:

[Osweo]

A fool, sure, but I'd still love to see a recording of that song. :D
