Some aspects of the phonetic and vocabulary parallels of the Abaza and Bask languages

the Proto-Basques and Proto-Caucasians, occupying the most favorable regions, formed the main original ethnic population of the Mediterranean, including the Abkhaz-Adyghe peoples, even before the arrival of the Hamito-Semitic and Indo-European tribes. In the Caucasus, the North-Western Caucasus stands out for its ancient culture, which is similar to that of the Mediterranean countries. According to our hypothesis, the dolmen culture in the Caucasus is associated with the Celts or related peoples. It is assumed that the Basques were among the first to leave their ancestral homeland and move westward, preserving many glosses from the proto-language in the basic vocabulary of their language. A semantic study of the animal terminology in the Abaza and Basque languages revealed significant differences in phonetics and vocabulary. However, it is important to note that a comparative analysis of the everyday vocabulary in the Abaza and Basque languages revealed the following: 1. The two languages share a similar phonetic structure. 2. The same root basis of individual words. Due to the lack of verification data on the relationship between the Abkhaz-Adyghe languages and the Basque language, it is not possible to classify the Basque language as a member of the Sino-Caucasian macrofamily. It is necessary to expand the scope of research to analyze their lexical unity and real connections using paleolinguistic methods, as well as to understand the worldview reflected in the aspects of theogony, enotheism, and paganism.
