It makes sense

[Wolfdog]

Sounds a bit alike Kartvelian (Georgian)

[Aldaris]

Sounds like Spanish but is made up of unfamiliar words for me.

There are several reasons for that. When Spanish language was emerging, it was naturally influenced by Vasconic languages and a couple of other ones similar to those, but not classified as members of that family. Reverse influence was definitely a thing aswell. But the number one reason why people do get that impression is because majority of Basques speak Spanish most of the time - which is of course gonna be reflected a lot in the phonological pattern, no matter the language you're speaking in, actually. Once I saw some video of a Spanish guy living in the UK, speaking about life in there (in English) and if I didn't know what he was saying, I'd think the language sounds kinda like Spanish. In case of today's Basque it's mostly not a feature of the language itself, but mostly an analogy of that. Does this sound like Spanish to you?

The basque people, being the less celt-related and less indo-europeans of Iberia, paradoxically, have one of the highest frecuency of R1b1a2 in the world:



FR1 represents the basques.

The most commond subclade would be DF27:

So... DF27 may actually just be from that region and spread to the rest of the peninsula as well as out to other areas such as central, and the isles. Interesting.

I thought before that was actually what happened, but i think not and some Anthrogenica users told me that this DF27 is not basque at all, the only basque marker is the M153, subclade of the DF27. Today, is a mistery how a region with only around 28% of indo-european blood, could have a frecuency of more than 85% of indo-european paternal line, no one knows actually, but iberiis were not R1b, that's for sure.

[Cristiano viejo]

iberiis were not R1b, that's for sure.

How not? and then??
