Formality and Informality:
After quite a bit of research, I have discovered that Basque has very little distinct language features for talking to people based on class, etc., because it was a, for the most part, classless society. Historically the Basques had no rulers or hierarchy for themselves, except what foreigners placed over them, like the Kings of France and Spain. Because of this, the language has similar rules of formality as English, like saying "good day" to someone you are not as familiar with instead of "hi."
