(Tira, tira, bazirudik hemen norberak erabakitzen duela baskoa
denentz; ez omen zagok erabateko erabakigarririk, ez eta hizkuntza,
mintzaira bera ere. Euskal ezaugarrietarik batzu dituenak, ehuneko
60 esan dezagun, lasai asko esan lezakek ez dela baskoa;
Basque zerrendan hain idazle oparoa den Josperrek, esate baterako.
Eta ehuneko 40 besterik ez duen batek, aldiz, esan lezakek baietz,
baskoa dela.

Ez nekian baskoa izatea klub bateko kide izatea bezalakoa zenik. Bide
honetan, agian egunen batean erabakiko diat ni ez naizela baskoa,
langabezira uzten banaute behintzat.

Alabaina, zer izan ninteke baskoa ez banaiz? ingelesa, frantsesa,
espainola akaso? ez zekiat, baina, Iruqea honetan frantsesez edo
ingelesez bizitzen zaila duk, eta ziuraski auzoek espainoltzat
hartuko naitek, espainieraz ongi moldatzen bainaiz...

Izanen ote naiz orduan gutxienez euskalduna, ala baskoa ez izatean
euskalduntasuna ere galduko dut?)

Mikel H, which is more fluent in spanish than in english.
