As for the language, surely it is related to something. Even Gypsy (or Rom) is related to Sanscrit.

Basque is unrelated to other modern Euro languages except possibly Finn or Hungarian. Even Albanian is straight off the Indo-European root, as is Greek and Latin. Romani would be Indo-European origin if the Romani originally came from the region of India, which maybe they did. The Basque, who knows, they may have been there a very long time.

From what I've been reading on the Basque, they were already there before the Celts or the Romans, and their language was already completely divorced from any other language in the region, seperate and unique unto itself..

The romans called it Aquitanian and there was no written form until the introduction of Latin to the area.

Genetically, the Basque are also seperate and unique..
