It has been over thirty years since I have heard my grandmother speak English in her Basque accent. The two women at the beginning of this well done video sound just like her. Even the slang is the same. What a gift to hear that melodious sound again. I will forever miss her kindness and her laugh. Thank you for posting this.

What a nice lady and such a terrible experience her mother survived. Franco was a monster.

Are you saying Irish came from basque please explain further and thank you

The Basque Country is the cradle of ancient warriors and knights. They are less likely to be immigrated by Portuguese and Mooro people, so they have light skin, red lips, high noses, deep eyes, and look more elegant than other autonomous regions of Spain. Especially, they are a people with a martial spirit and a princely spirit. Typically, A.Bilbao club never buys players originating outside the Basque country. Real Sosiedas as well as 1 opposing team in each Spanish city are royally sponsored vassals. The Basque Country and Basque people are so beautiful.

Basques in the West? the toponym or name of the state Arizona is a Basque word that means "good oak". In a place in Arizona, a Basque named Urrea built a ranch, which he called "the ranch of the good oak", "the good oak" in Basque means "arizona". In that ranch a silver mine was found for which something famous became and his name spread to name the entire area

Hi. Thank you for this video💕 I am trying to find out more about my family on my Mother's side. She is Basque-Irish. I believe her Father and Uncles were brought over as sheep herders. Sadly, my Mother does not speak of the family before her. I would love to learn my Heritage and share it with my children.

5:15 In France, the Basque language has been persecuted and marginalized to the brink of extinction. Luckily, Franco's been six feet under for long and euskera is an official language in today's Spain.

"That" town was Guernica. There is a famous painting by that name.(Picasso was the artist; you can find copies everywhere; it's representation of the carnage following the PRACTICE BOMBING of the city/town of Guernica; apparently, t he German pilots were instructed to bomb this unarmed town.). The Spanish/French Basque history is fascinating---

And other places I believe....what nice people the Requetes brought with them.

I am a Filipino guy And I had Basque blood in both parental sides from Gipuzkoa,Northern Spain. My paternal ancestors were in Navarrese kingdom of Baztan from Bassano del Grappa ,Provinza di Vicenza with Catalan descendant. And my mother's Bilbao, Viscaya origin of Portuguese maternal origin. And i am generation of Alvaro de Bazan, a Spanish navy captain of Navarrese royal origin. Now,along to colonize my country by Sebastian del Elcano to Miguel Lopez de Legazpi (who died in Intramuros, Manila) were Basque Conquistadors. And my ancestors were isolated between civil war and rights and independence against Spain like fron Franco Regime of Castillian Republic. Also Catalonia ( Including Allies or my extra ancestors as independence),it will no longer Spanish county or province like Scotland away from England or UK also biggest rival in the history. Even I related the Byzantine Crusader.
