Polymorphism, inheritance, encapsulation and hierarchy I was thinking. With the examples shown in the video, Basque seems to specify the class first and then declares an instance of that class though post-declaration of 'the'. More than that. It also seems to declare 2 classes first and then says what happens to the instance of the subject class. It seems to call objects for both the predeclared classes. I suspect that Basque also allows for multiple inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation and hierarchy. To be honest I don't know, however from the example given it looks like it could do. My first language is English. I tend to think procedurally. Object orientation when applied well (not through Java) seems an ok way to go. English speakers might gravitate to procedural languages though. I suspect that is true for all Indo-European languages. I'm currently experimenting with the idea of learning multiple languages in parallel through cognates. I'm not a linguist, but my mother could speak 8 languages. I'm not quite sure why LanX thinks that I need to be an Anthologist to look into this sort of thing - people should ignore that comment I think.
