CHOMAT is on a distinguished road
Default euskara

I ' m starting a comparative study of Euskara with other non-indo-European languages. I therefore look for people conversant with Finnish or Estonian and even The languages spoken in the Caucasian area. Questions will encompass phonologic evolution, lexicon and grammatical phenomena.

In other words, he's doing a study on the Euskara language. He's going to compare that language with other related languages. He is looking for people who speak Finnish or Estonian or other languages spoken in the Caucasian area. He wants to ask those speakers questions about the sounds, vocabulary and grammar of their language.

No -No, my question was what does the word "Chomat" mean, if this is the last name - I was just curious, tell you why later.

Maybe CHOMAT is just the ¨reverse¨ (wachamacallit?) of MATCHO.

CHOMAT ? Chomat is simply my first name. Surely, there is some ackwardness in Peterpiper's anagram, ackwardess quiet akin to roughness!

I didn´t mean anything harsh with my previous statement. That´s all.

Euskara (Basque) is a language isolate. It's not related to Finnish, Estonian, or any other languages.
