It is surmised that perhaps they are descendants of the original Neolithic inhabitants of Europe, perhaps one of many groups forced into small pockets around Europe by later peoples (who spoke early Indo-European languages). Euskara is the last remaining native non-Indo-European language (Etruscan was also non-Indo-European).
