How are Basque people from northern Spain?
Spain and France
Answer
As for where they came from, their origins are somewhat mysterious. The Basque language (Euskara) is an extremely complex language which has no close relatives anywhere else in the world (it is therefore not related at all to Spanish). 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). Finno-Ugric (eg Finnish, Hungarian) and Turkic languages came to be spoken in Europe via immigration and invasion and are the main non-Indo-European languages besides Basque found in Europe.
