The Basque language, casually spoken | Andrew speaking Biscayan | Wikitongues
Basque, known natively as Euskera or Euskara, is spoken by over a million people, mainly in the Basque Country (Euskadi) of Spain and France. The Biscayan dialect or Bizkaiera is spoken in the coastal Biscay province.

More from Wikipedia: "Biscayan, sometimes Bizkaian (Basque: Bizkaiera, Spanish: Vizcaíno)[1] is a dialect of the Basque language spoken mainly in Biscay, one of the provinces of the Basque Country of Spain. It is named as Western in the Basque dialects' classification drawn up by linguist Koldo Zuazo,[2] since it is not only spoken in Biscay but also extends slightly into the northern fringes of Alava and deeper in the western part of Gipuzkoa. The dialect's territory bears great similarity to t...

Spoken in small parts of northern Spain and France, Basque is one of the most interesting languages in the world because unlike every other language in Europe, Basque is a language isolate, meaning it has no known relation to any other language family. French, Italian, and even more obscure European languages like the Romance language Occitan or the Celtic language Breton are all related and linguists can trace their respective histories.
But many scholars think that the Basque language actually descends from an ancient stratum of Paleolithic hunter gatherers in Europe and is the only surviving representative of indigen...

Basque Origins | DNA, Language, and History
From the Spanish and French valleys of the Western Pyrenees to the Atlantic coast of the Bay of Biscay, the historically isolated Basque people have lived for millennia.
In this diverse and fertile region, the Basque have retained their unique non-Indo-European language and dialects, Euskara, as well as their own cultural and regional identities. As the surrounding populations of Europe have shifted over the ages again and again, the Basque people remain.
Known today by its inhabitants as Euskadi, País Vasco, or Euskal Herria, the Basque Country has become a region famous for its cuisine and wine of ancient grapes such as Tempranillo, of traditional fishing villages and picturesque cities. Tourism has replaced much of history’s strife. But defining Euskal Herria is as difficult as defin...

Euskera, the Basque language | Kontatu, digital storytellers
Do you know Euskera, the Basque language? We do. We are in no way claiming to be experts, philologists, or linguists. All we are trying to do is make a point that this ancient language is very much alive and well here in the Basque Country.
To do that we went out to speak to people who are involved in the maintenance and development of the language, just that.
-Approximately 40% of the Basque population know Euskera.
-The Bertsolari is a Basque cultural icon.
-This and many other forms of expression make Euskera a living language.
-The term "Euskaldun" refers to a person who uses Euskera.

Want to learn Basque? Check out the link for 20% off uTalk – a language learning platform with more than 150 languages available: https://uta.lk/julingo
Basque is probably the most mysterious language in Europe. A small language tucked in the Pyrenees mountains on the border of Spain and France, it is completely different from the languages that surround it. As a matter of fact, it is different from any other language on the planet. And its grammar is almost as complex as its history. But it is for sure one of the most fun and unique languages to explore.

More from Wikipedia: "Biscayan, sometimes Bizkaian (Basque: Bizkaiera, Spanish: Vizcaíno)[1] is a dialect of the Basque language spoken mainly in Biscay, one of the provinces of the Basque Country of Spain. It is named as Western in the Basque dialects' classification drawn up by linguist Koldo Zuazo,[2] since it is not only spoken in Biscay but also extends slightly into the northern fringes of Alava and deeper in the western part of Gipuzkoa. The dialect's territory bears great similarity to that of the Caristii tribe, as described by Roman authors. While it is treated as stylish to write in Biscayan and the dialect is still spoken generally in about half of Biscay and some other municipalities, it suffers from the double pressure of Unified Basque and Spanish. Biscayan was used by Sabino Arana and his early Basque nationalist followers as one of the signs of Basqueness. Basque (; Basque: Euskara, [eus̺ˈkaɾa]) is a language spoken in the Basque Country, a region that straddles the westernmost Pyrenees in adjacent parts of Northern Spain and Southwestern France. Linguistically, Basque is unrelated to the other languages of Europe and is a language isolate in relation to any other known living language. The Basques are indigenous to, and primarily inhabit, the Basque Country. The Basque language is spoken by 28.4% (751,500) of Basques in all territories. Of these, 93.2% (700,300) are in the Spanish area of the Basque Country and the remaining 6.8% (51,200) are in the French portion. Native speakers live in a contiguous area that includes parts of four Spanish provinces and the three "ancient provinces" in France. Gipuzkoa, most of Biscay, a few municipalities of Álava, and the northern area of Navarre formed the core of the remaining Basque-speaking area before measures were introduced in the 1980s to strengthen the language. By contrast, most of Álava, the western part of Biscay, and the central and southern areas of Navarre are predominantly populated by native speakers of Spanish, either because Basque was replaced by Spanish over the centuries (as in most of Álava and central Navarre), or because it may never have been spoken there (as in parts of the Enkarterri and southeastern Navarre). In Francoist Spain, Basque language use was affected by the government’s repressive policies. In the Basque Country, "Francoist repression was not only political but also linguistic and cultural." The regime placed legal restrictions on the use of language, which was suppressed from official discourse, education, and publishing, making it illegal to register newborn babies under Basque names, and even requiring tombstone engravings in Basque to be removed. In some provinces, the public use of the language was suppressed, with people fined for speaking Basque. Public use of Basque was frowned upon by supporters of the regime, often regarded as a sign of anti-Francoism or separatism. Overall, in the 1960s and later, the trend reversed and education and publishing in Basque began to flourish. As a part of this process, a standardized form of the Basque language, called Euskara Batua, was developed by the Euskaltzaindia in the late 1960s. Besides its standardized version, the five historic Basque dialects are Biscayan, Gipuzkoan, and Upper Navarrese in Spain and Navarrese–Lapurdian and Solution in France. They take their names from the historic Basque provinces, but the dialect boundaries are not congruent with province boundaries. Euskara Batua was created so that the Basque language could be used—and easily understood by all Basque speakers—in formal situations (education, mass media, literature), and this is its main use today. In both Spain and France, the use of Basque for education varies from region to region and from school to school. A language isolate, Basque is believed to be one of the few surviving pre-Indo-European languages in Europe and is the only one in Western Europe. The origin of the Basques and of their languages is not conclusively known, though the most accepted current theory is that early forms of Basque developed before the arrival of Indo-European languages in the area, including the Romance languages that geographically surround the Basque-speaking region. Basque has adopted about 40 percent of its vocabulary from the Romance languages, and Basque speakers have in turn lent their own words to Romance speakers. The Basque alphabet uses the Latin script."

Spoken in small parts of northern Spain and France, Basque is one of the most interesting languages in the world because unlike every other language in Europe, Basque is a language isolate, meaning it has no known relation to any other language family. French, Italian, and even more obscure European languages like the Romance language Occitan or the Celtic language Breton are all related and linguists can trace their respective histories.
But many scholars think that the Basque language actually descends from an ancient stratum of Paleolithic hunter gatherers in Europe and is the only surviving representative of indigenous European tribes before Indo-European language families like the Germanic and Romance came to dominate the continent and eventually the entire world. So I recently went to Bilbao, the capital of Spanish Basque Country, to try to practice this ancient European language, although due to centuries of suppression most people here do not actually speak Basque.

Spoken in small parts of northern Spain and France, Basque is one of the most interesting languages in the world because unlike every other language in Europe, Basque is a language isolate, meaning it has no known relation to any other language family. French, Italian, and even more obscure European languages like the Romance language Occitan or the Celtic language Breton are all related and linguists can trace their respective histories.
But many scholars think that the Basque language actually descends from an ancient stratum of Paleolithic hunter gatherers in Europe and is the only surviving representative of indigenous European tribes before Indo-European language families like the Germanic and Romance came to dominate the continent and eventually the entire world. So I recently went to Bilbao, the capital of Spanish Basque Country, to try to practice this ancient European language, although due to centuries of suppression most people here do not actually speak Basque. And to be honest this was a really hard language to learn and I’m not very good either … but it was kind of fun to get a lot of attention when I tried speaking it!

From the Spanish and French valleys of the Western Pyrenees to the Atlantic coast of the Bay of Biscay, the historically isolated Basque people have lived for millennia.
In this diverse and fertile region, the Basque have retained their unique non-Indo-European language and dialects, Euskara, as well as their own cultural and regional identities. As the surrounding populations of Europe have shifted over the ages again and again, the Basque people remain.
Known today by its inhabitants as Euskadi, País Vasco, or Euskal Herria, the Basque Country has become a region famous for its cuisine and wine of ancient grapes such as Tempranillo, of traditional fishing villages and picturesque cities. Tourism has replaced much of history’s strife. But defining Euskal Herria is as difficult as defining the word Herria itself. In Euskara its root herri can mean everything from village to population to nation. Euskal Herria is the collective identity of this ancient people.
Basque Country has historically comprised of settlements located along the western edge of the Pyrenees, currently organized in seven provinces: Gipuzkoa; Bizkaia; Araba; and Nafarroa on the southern side of the Pyrenees and Zuberoa; Lapurdi; and Nafarroa Beherea on the northern side. Euskara has five main dialects, a non-Indo-European language isolate with no close relationship to any other extant language. Overall, Euskara is spoken by nearly thirty percent, or three-quarters of a million Basques. The vast majority are in the Spanish region. Only seven percent are in the French portion. The French dialects are Navarrese– Lapurdian and Souletin, and the Spanish dialects are Upper Navarrese, Biscayan, and Gipuzkoan. These dialects are sometimes mutually incomprehensible, especially in the case of Souletin. Studies suggest that these dialects branched from a unified Basque language sometime during the Middle Ages and developed according to geographical, cultural, political, and administrative reasons. Although structurally unlike any Indo European language, the official Euskara Batua today contains many loan words from Romance languages --up to 40% of its vocabulary, and a modified Latin script.
The mystery of Euskara’s long linguistic isolation has led to many theories of its origins and possible related languages. Most of these hypotheses are very tenuous, such as Basque-Iberic comparisons based on fragments of extinct variations of Vasconic, Auquitanian, and Iberian tongues, or they are based on coincidence and pseudoscientific speculation, ranging from the popular assertion that the Basques are descended from Old Testament patriarchs to the folk beliefs that Basques are related to the distant Kartvelian populations of Caucasus Georgia to a slightly more plausible relation to the ancient Chechen language, neighbors of the Georgians whose language structure appears closer to Euskara. These models of Dené-Caucasian language families might mean that the Basque and their ancestors originated from the Caucasus. But only the latest genetic studies of modern Basque samples have reached clear conclusions.

Do you know Euskera, the Basque language? We do. We are in no way claiming to be experts, philologists, or linguists. All we are trying to do is make a point that this ancient language is very much alive and well here in the Basque Country.
To do that we went out to speak to people who are involved in the maintenance and development of the language, just that.
-Approximately 40% of the Basque population know Euskera.
-The Bertsolari is a Basque cultural icon.
-This and many other forms of expression make Euskera a living language.
-The term "Euskaldun" refers to a person who uses Euskera.

Basque is probably the most mysterious language in Europe. A small language tucked in the Pyrenees mountains on the border of Spain and France, it is completely different from the languages that surround it. As a matter of fact, it is different from any other language on the planet. And its grammar is almost as complex as its history. But it is for sure one of the most fun and unique languages to explore.
