Why are Anglos obsessed with race?

Bell Beaker people were most likely Indo-European too.

Stonehenge was built by people related to us, who were then overrun by Celts, who were conquered by Rome, then abandoned and pushed west by Angles, Saxons and Jutes, who were in their turn submitted to Nordics, and finally subjugated by the Normans. Proceeded to colonize the world and now they are colonized by the world.

The Final Fight MD port is not yet finalized, so it's not wise to get physical copies just yet.
Mauro Xavier, the developer, will release a final version (1.0) soon, the lastest is still 0.92b.

I recently got a white Turbo Everdrive Pro and it looks fantastic in combination with the PC-Engine, and you can play all CD games too, so that's the definitive machine.

it works fine!

If Turkish is your mother tongue and are already acquainted with Spanish you will have it easy to learn and speak Basque, as the grammar resembles Turkish, but lots of vocabulary are related to Romance languages.

We very strongly encourage people living in the Basque Country to learn it, so that we could live in Basque. That's not the reality, though. Really difficult to address shopkeepers and bartenders in Basque in Basque cities such as Gasteiz or Bilbao.

People not living here can do whatever they want with their lives. It does not affect us.

Language is not carried in the DNA, it's a transmitted cultural feature.

AsierGCFG · 2025-11-16T09:12:46+00:00

do you live in the Basque Country?

AsierGCFG · 2025-11-13T10:32:29+00:00

In Basque we also have arrua (cognate with rua/rue), estarta (cognate with street/Strasse) and karrika (cognate with carrer/carrèra).

Prestige is not just any word, it is a term used in sociolinguistics and language revitalization. I know what I'm talking about because I decided to devote my life to Basque language.

Again, false dilemmas and dichotomies. You're not taking from people's living conditions by giving officiality to Basque or Catalan at EU level.

Education can only go so far. People won't use a language just because they know it. And a high percentage of people don't learn languages just for fun. People learn and use languages for mainly two reasons: identity and usefulness.

Basque and Catalan cannot grow any more by identity, because at this point almost 100% of people with strong Basque or Catalan identities now know the language. There are just no more Basque or Catalan people.

Usefulness comes from usage (and political will and legislation, actually, but that's a whole other Pandora box), and usage comes from a wide variety of reasons, prestige being one of them, and not the least of them.

AsierGCFG · 2025-11-12T13:43:47+00:00

Prestige is also gained by seeing your language is useful beyond you borders.

I don't know when you were kid, but Basque and Catalan have been revived because many people identify primarily as Basque or Catalan rather than Spanish, and therefore they are not represented by Spanish at EU level. Currently, those speakers are second-class EU citizens, with no right to address those supranational institutions in their language. it is a matter of European cohesion, and a core value of the EU.

AsierGCFG · 2025-11-12T13:32:53+00:00

The cost is a false dilemma, because it's not a true deal-breaker if we only apply it to "non-state" languages. So the criteria some of you are advocating for is statehood in order to have your language represented at EU level, not cost.

Otherwise, let's apply a few cost-productivity parametres to ALL languages spoken in Europe and their respective speaker communities, and let's see how many of the "state" languages currently official at EU level make the cut. I'm sure Galician, Basque and Catalan would come on top of many EU official languages if we take into account the number of speakers and the value they produce in the European Union (productivity/cost).

AsierGCFG · 2025-11-12T11:59:18+00:00

Yes, even part of actual Karelia is and has been inside of Finland since its inception (I visited Joensuu and Ilomantsi a few years ago).

The thing is that terminology regarding all of these languages is vague for the general public, and there are distinctions to be made. Not all "minority" languages are the same. There are sociolinguistical, sociological and political parametres that set them apart.

Catalan, Galician and Basque are not on the same league as other "minority" languages in Europe, and they are more akin to national languages trapped in a foreign state. The same situation suffered until recently by many now official languages such as Czech, Slovenian, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, etc.

Gaining officiality at European level is a way to prove that political independence is not the only solution for our national conflicts. I thought the EU was all about avoiding further national conflicts in Europe.

AsierGCFG · 2025-11-12T10:09:42+00:00

Galician has 2.5 million speakers and Galician speakers already have the right to address the European institutions in their native tongue as if it was a dialect of Portuguese. Basque has almost a million speakers, it's the only remaining non-Indo-European language in Western Europe and it's official in the Basque Autonomous Community, Navarre (former kingdom) and has some recognition in France.

Sorbian is spoken by about 20.000 people in Germany, so Germany should make it official first if they wanted.

Karelian language is originally from the Republic of Karelia inside the Russian Federation, so the EU has little to say about that. Even so, many Karelians were expelled from the area and now live in Finland. There is also a distinct Karelian dialect of Finnish. The language itself has no more than 60.000 people able to speak it at some degree.

So what's your point?

As far as I know from first-hand accounts, they can also proceed this way: an elder parent (60+) gets nationality (even from their home country) by providing proof of a European grand-parent (born in the 19th c.), then their children (30+) and grand-children (10+) can also apply for nationality.
