Basque is often considered as an unique language.

You can find a lot of its vocabulary in Gascon and vice versa, but it's mutual influence in the middle ages and didn't happen in the "creation" of the languages.

For looking at the linguistic relation between Korean and Japanese,

You guys need to compare the  root of the native language words or some of the ancient words. (except the part of chinese character borrowed)

5,000 native words' radix correspondenting listed book has been released already.

Isn't Basque the sole remaining survivor of a language group some call "Western Mediterranean" what devolped before Roman times?  I once read where Basque and an ancient language called "Aquitainian" had some similarities.

Also, for a language isolate, an example is Brahui.  It is a Dravidian language in Pakistan (Baluchistan province).  A proto-Dradivian language was once thought to spread across the Indian sub-continent before the Indo-European Aryan migrations.  These migrants (who's decendants speak the North Indian Sankritic languages, like me!) pushed the Dravidian group to the bottom quarter of the Indian peninsula (including Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Telugu speakers), but a group remained insolated in Pakistan.

What do Basque and Brahui have to do with language isolation? Neither language is out of contact with other languages surrounding it, therefore neither are isolated languages. They are "isolated" in another meaning, the one having no relatives and the other being split apart, but they're not what scolars would call isolated languages.

This list of Turkish words and their meanings is wrong.

I will write the true Turkish words instead of the wrong ones:

father- ata / baba

mother- ana / anne

water- su

with- ile

five- besh

ten- on

I- min / men / ben

Me- Mini / Meni/ Beni

You cant analyze generaly Turkish.

Ever heard of Karachai-Turkish? This is the oldest protected Turkish with the some Altaic-nomads living in those mountans.

I will ad some kazakh Turkish in those above

father- ata / baba / ba

mother- ana / anne

water- su / ma

with- ile / le

five- besh

ten- on

I- min / men / ben / me

Me- Mini / Meni/ Beni / Men

Mountan- Tepe / Dagh
