Crucially, the leading Vasconists (Larry Trask et al.) reject the idea of Basque being related to anything at all. > but most people seem to hold that Aymara and Quechua > are as unrelated as two American langauges can be. Well, it is fair to mention that the term `Quechumaran' exists, but perhaps that was never meant to denote anything more than an areal grouping. The general opinion is in fact that the large shared vocabulary (larger than in the case of Spanish and Basque) is due to such factors as borrowing and/or a common substrate. --Ivan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a NextCard Visa, in 30 seconds! 1.
