Basque ping.... Bakersfield.... Elko....Reno...
America B.C.A fascinating letter I received from a Shoshone Indian who had been traveling in the Basque country of Spain tells of his recognition of Shoshone words over there, including his own name, whose Shoshone meaning proved to match the meaning attached to a similar word by the modern Basques. Unfortunately I mislaid this interesting letter. If the Shoshone scholar who wrote to me should chance to see these words I hope he will forgive me and contact me again. The modern Basque settlers of Idaho may perhaps bring forth a linguist to investigate matters raised in this chapter. [p 173]

The Emeshi language has disappeared under the pressure of the emergence of modern Japanese.
The Ainu lived in various places in the East Asian mainland, mostly on Northern rivers. They had boats to conducte extensive trade throughout the Arctic in fact, and their traces can be found in the Aleutians, Alaska, the PAC NW, and so forth (mostly in more modern times, but there are some pre-Columbian items ~ brought there as trade goods, or maybe even brought there by Ainu traders after furs to sell to China).
Going beyond that the Yakut people are also closely related to MODERN Japanese. That's because they've been in Japan 1500 years and have intermixed with the existing population. The Yakut, though, are more like the Chinese, and have shovel teeth. Some Yakut are "different" reflecting an ancient admixture coming from the "reindeer people" of the Northern forests. That group, itself, also has a diverse background.
So, no, the Ainu are hardly Caucasion. Neither are they Jomon, since a separate cultural group called the Emeshi are demonstrably the same as the Jomon. These people, the Emeshi/Jomon are, in fact, the Samurai.

I read some years ago that 11,000 years ago around Lake Baikal arose a tribe that spread West into Europe, South into India, and East also, there becoming the Ainu of Japan. This was done through linguist studies at the rate languages change over time. Linguist studies are not cited in the article on “The Relationship Between The Basque and Ainu”. Looking at photos of the Ainu (1904)seen in another article on the Ainu, one can see the features of the members of that tribe are of a race that is ancient and exists globally, not so much anymore, but in isolated pockets in Europe also. Basques have some characteristics physically that are shared by the Ainu.
I just can’t see anything “entertaining” about it. Some total BS is what he writes. It’s even more ridiculous that any people would buy the least bit into that with totally invalid “logic” or basically no logic at all. This article sucks and some people’s reaction are horrible. Is very basic scientific thinking so hard to achieve at all? Ridiculous. But still, many credits to you for pointing out such nonsense.
Your skepticism is noted, and applauded.
I guess if one had time on his/her hands, and dictionaries for about 100 languages the “discoveries” would be impressive.
Google translate could turn up millions of these “may”, and “likely” and “seem to appear as” suspects?

WOW! That is an excellent remark. Original to you?
