Correct. Basque is the only surviving PALEO-EUROPEAN language descendant.

Also re “The language used 87 symbols” – languages do not use symbols as such and, anyway, Linear B also used ideograms for concepts like “wheat” and number. This should read “the script used 87 logograms”.
I get the scent of AI from this article.
