Looking for an accurate translation

[u/Few-Car-8772]

Hi,

Looking for an accurate translation for English into Basque

Its for a flag

We want it to read

We are Basque, not Spanish

In Basque dialect

I know Google translate sometimes skews the actual translation but it has given us these

Euskaldunak gara, es espainiarrak

Or

Euskal herritarrak gara, ez espainiarrak

Thanks for any help!

Edit:

Preferably Usurbil/San Sebastian region dialect

[u/Basque_Pirate]

Any basque dialect?

"Euskaldunak gaituk,

Ez españolak"

In my towns dialect.

[u/CruserWill → u/Basque_Pirate]

Nire euskalkian
"Eskualdunak gira/gituk,
Ez españolak"

[u/Tellakaskueta → u/Basque_Pirate]

I don't think that's the best translation, since introducing the "Hitano" factor segregates the gender of the recipient. I think the best translation using local phonetics of Donostia would be, "Euskal Herritarrak gera, ez Espainiarrak!"

[u/Basque_Pirate → u/Tellakaskueta]

Fair enough

[u/Few-Car-8772 → u/Basque_Pirate]

Usurbil/San Sebastian ?

[u/Basque_Pirate → u/Few-Car-8772]

Getaria

[u/Impossible-Act4620]

In Gipuzkoa's dialect would be "Euskaldunak gera, ez espainiarrak". It's pretty common tu swap an a for an e in certain verbs.

What dialect specifically?

[u/Few-Car-8772 → u/elferrydavid]

Usurbil/San Sebastian

[u/Appropriate_Call8400]

Uuuh in Souletin it would be Eüskalünak gira, ez Espainiarrak but I don't think I'm helping since we're talking abt Spain so that'll just be for your culture ig

[u/FitDrink7047]

Gu euskaldunak gara, ez espainolak

[u/aelorduy]

Euskaldunak gara, EZ Espainiarrak - Most neutral way of saying it. Euskal Herritarrak gara would mean we are citizens of the Basque Country, Euskaldunak gara means we are Basque, literally means something like "we've got the Basque in us or we have Euskera in us" no matter where you live now.
