And here we go again with the "men of various races", which as I pointed above could mean many different things due to its ambiguousness. No need to say that, genetically speaking, there's little or nothing supporting such claim in the Basques. Obviously Carlos has serious problems with all type of non Spanish Nationalism in the Peninsula (as attested by other posts), so if I were you Taranis I'd prefer to focus the discussion in the non biased opinions.
By the way, what it's clear to me at least, is that in genetic terms it's difficult to find the connection with the language. Possibly we'll never know the exact origins.
In research I am conducting on the Basque language is necessary to collect all the information on the topic, Sabino Arana version or the Basque nationalists, Nordic 19th century who, oddly enough their ideas and thoughts are still based.
I do not consider to be taboo any way forward in the investigation, obviously now after so many centuries of research no specialist has succeeded in giving a good result on the issue of Basque origin, perhaps because they take risks and as seeing here is an attempt to create taboos that hinder research.
I hope I have left my position clear and not twist again about my interests. The important thing is to find the truth at any cost.
And in view of the results on the Basque language, now I have more credibility to the historical chronicles and interested party's opinion of 19 century northern and of course much more than those of Sabino Arana and Basque nationalists today.
And I think the Romans had experience with tribes and races, are not you going to make people believe that the Romans mistook a tribe where 20 have black hair and brown 10 3 blonde with the epithet of "people of various races," Sorry, but I will not confess millstones.
You know there are things that foreigners are escapes, subtleties and Spain do not realize nobody believes the Nationalists and high doses of victimhood, and not have to be taboo, as the nationalists have said many things without demonstrating and there is no reason that can not be refuted their arguments without anyone to believe that they are being attacked, and they know this very well used, use victimhood to shut mouths, thankfully in Spain and they do not, so I hope the same will happen in Europe.
