To be honest if we (Basques) ever gain independence I'd prefer if we wouldn't join the EU. I think we'd be better off with real independence, our own currency, etc. like Switzerland or Norway.

I also want to say it's sad that the oldest nation, with the oldest language alive in Europe is not allowed to decide what it wants be.

There's no such thing as an older or newer language. Their study should be interpreted under a dialetical aspect instead of something of means and ends, for they evolve and change as time passes. Basque evolved from proto-basque who in turn came from pre-proto-basque and so on. Every language spoken on Europe has a background as rich, if not much richer - since they were subject to the contact with way more cultures - than Basque. 

Ok, fair enough. Perhaps the 'most unchanged' I guess. But its a reasonable argument.

 

Like I said above, I prefer to focus on the present though, despite my brief moment of pride :p

Are you talking of the Euskara Batua? rofl.

Not necessarily.

Seeing as you're not adressing the other things I said I'm gonna assume you haven't got many arguments.

Not gonna argue with you further.
