That's a very nice picture of General Razorbeard.  I don't believe I have ever seen him look so fetching as he does right here.

I don't understand you. Why are you so interested in peoples race, and nationality?

I don't care what people are, as long as they aren't Basque.

Why don't you like Basques?

Why don't you like Basques?   

Because they have a stupid alphabet. I can't understand it. And they don't have any good Basque restaurants out here, despite the number of Basques that are here. I went to school with dozen people with names ending in "gui".

You should master their language! Consider that alphabet a personal challenge!

Stupid Portagee!!

The Basques have their own unique alphabet AND language that have no relation to Latin whatsoever. I've seen their writing, it's unrecognizable.

i know their language is unique, but they REALLY do use the latin alphabet.

I just listened to a brief recorded passage in Basque, and a lot of it does sound Spanish IMO. The writing is intriguing too. 


Sorry, I had to do it!

again, hellooooo, that IS the latin alphabet? see?
it has AAA and BBBB and CCCC

a unique alphabet would be like cyrillic, or greek, or chinese, or urdu...

the basque alphabet is the same alphabet as we have

[Scrapheap]

Well, yes they use the Latin Alphabet, but they also have their own. There's a Basque restaurant in San Francisco near Chinatown that's covered in Basque writing. I've been by it but I can't find any pics.

Well, googling I found the C, Q, V, W and Y do miss in the Basque alphabet. They use the missing letters for non Basque words, but, strictly, these do not belong to the Basque alphabet.

[General Razorbeard]

I don't get onymandias from The Drivel either, he says that he's American because he's Canadian

Most people believe that all countries are their own.

By the way, if Canadians are Americans, that means that Latinos and Haitians are Americans too, because they are in the same continent.

Where's kaileen?

I haven't seen her for a while, maybe she didn't like this site?

In that case, I understand.
