Is it true that Basque is a language isolate with no known relatives?

Yes. Multiple reference works state that Basque is a language isolate with no demonstrable or known relatives, matching the claim directly. A few sources note that any deeper relationships are simply undetectable or that extinct relatives may have existed, but none contradict the claim as worded.
