The Basque people, who live in a corner between northern Spain and southwestern France, speak one of the biggest linguistic mysteries on the planet. Their language, Euskara, is what linguists call a language isolate, not related to any known language.

It isn’t related to Spanish, French, or any other known language family. In fact, it’s the last surviving pre-Indo-European language in Western Europe, a living fossil that has somehow made it all the way to the 21st century while its ancient neighbors disappeared.

A whole language with no known relatives? For linguists, that’s the equivalent of finding a dragon in your backyard.

Dia de mu***os 💀👻💀 The aztec goddess Mictēcacihuātl rules the underworld, Mictlan. She watches over the bones of the dead and presides over the ancient festivals of the dead. The spirits rest in Mictlan until awakened from their eternal sleep for one day each year, when they can return home to visit their loved ones.
