the Korean and Turkish languages are very similar in terms of structure

I should. I'll include them in my grand tour of the neighbours. I'll start at the Katachimuchi's at 466A, go via the Ibrahim's at 477sub and finish at the Vinokourovs at 488D/E
I love my street

by the way Ali, I'm from Korea, so I have nothing against Turks at all. Not only was I touched by the comraderie in the 3rd place play-off at WC2002, I love Turkish food, and the Korean and Turkish languages are very similar in terms of structure

For real..
Along with Turkish, Hungarian, Finnish, Mongolian, and Japanese.
You might also be interested to learn that the Korean and Japanese languages are completely different from Chinese.
Ahh that reminds me of my friend's place. He lives on the 4th floor, and you can smell the unmistakable fragrance of 3 distinct cultures' foods on the way up to his place

Oohh so that's what Hungarian and Finnish relate to. I knew they related to each other and not to any other European language but I didn't know they related to Turkish (although technically speaking also a European language), Mongolian, Korean and Japanese.
That I knew! :strong:
I know, I love that kind of thing

I won't pretend to know anything about the Basque language, but a quick search brings up the following:
Aquitanian/Basque
Recently several scholars have studied Basque with regard to other languages to which it might be related and have concluded that Aquitanian appears to have been its forerunner. Thus they have postulated an Aquitanian/Basque language family, with Basque being the only extant example. In the early 20th century, linguists believed that a language family which they called Iberian once existed in western Europe, mostly in and near the Iberian peninsula. They thought then that Basque was a descendant of Iberian. This theory has now been conclusively disproven. Thus, at present, Basque is the only known representative of the Aquitanian/Basque family.
Note that a language called Iberian was spoken at the time of the Roman conquest along the Mediterranean coast of Spain, but linguists do not now believe it related to any other known language. There was also a language which has been given the name Tartessian spoken in southwestern Spain and southern Portugal about the same time, but again we know of no relation between Tartessian and any other language.
