Summary: There is a relationship between the Algonkin and the Basque languages. In my opinion it is an old relationship, stemming from before the times of the coming of "Indo-European" language to south and western Europe, as evidenced by the nature and form of these tongues, the demonstration of which is the topic of this article. These tongues are not readily understandable by "Latin Grammar", speech-part classifications due to their "agglutinative" syllabic-word string nature, and the syllable-word forms which convey meaning via geometric-shape concepts attached to particular word-family systems of sounds, which the following investigative examples begin to show. |
