The Basque lang has got SOV structure which is the
same as Ural Altaic language like Korean, Japanese, Turkish
Finnish and a lot of small languages in the central
Asia. Also, these non European Nordic (in broad terms) languages
are very old and most widely ranging.
Basque must be one of the branches which has been surrounded by
IndoEuropeans. It is not a mystery at all in this respect. It can
be comparable with Caucasion like Inu tribe isolated in
Japan.
