No mention of the Basques, who are the odd men out in Europe, at least linguistically.

“The origin of the Basques and the Basque language is a controversial topic that has given place to numerous hypotheses about their origin and so far none of them is conclusive or has been completely proven.

“The ancient language of the Basque people, the Basque language, which developed from the Proto-Basque language, is the only Pre-Indo-European language that is still extant in contemporary Europe.

“The current Basque language is a language isolate. The Basques have long been supposed to be a remnant of a pre-Indo-European population of Europe. However, this assumption has come under increasing criticism as genetic and linguistic studies have become more sophisticated. No firm conclusion has been reached on their origins.”

incest is best

Down South we are fond of say’n “if’n she ain’t good nuf for her own family, she ain’t good nuf fer a nuthers!”

Without parties and alcohol none of us would be here.

Basque. They had ugly women, or a geological isolation anomaly. Perhaps, predating current understanding of a long regional ice age. Regardless, Good folks, love the Basque. Great proto-language. Most of my neighbors are so, designed.
