 basque distribution by Peret 500000 people, more or less, have the basque language as first language. You can see in the map the distribution. San Sebastián is the biggest city where you can hier it often, although is more spoken spanish, i think. But most of people of basque contry thinks the basque language is their own language, although a lot of them don't speak it. They had a lot of historical problems, and basque language was for long time forbidden, and never tought. If you shows your respect for this language, or you knows a few words, the most of people will be glad with you. Leave a Comment

 Basque evolution by Peret This language is one of the bigger mysterys of the linguistics. Today, is not related with any other language. The origins are unknown, although there are several theories. Is true that this language was spoken there since the nigth of the times. Is also true that is very related to the Aquitan, the language of the Aquitanie before romans. (Aquitanie is today Gascongie=Wascunia=Vasconia)It seems there was a big language in some parts of Europe before indoeuropean family. In the photo, a map of the evolution of basque language. Un dels grans misteris de la linguïstica. No s'han trobat relacions amb cap altra llengua en el món amb certesa, tot i s'ha intentat relacionar amb l'Amazigh i idiomes caucàsics, sense massa èxit. L'única relació certa és amb l'aquità, llengua parlada a l'aquitània abans de la invassió romana. Hi ha la teoria que va haver un gran llenguatge anterior al celta repartit per Europa, i el basc és l'úlitim vestigi que en queda. Leave a Comment

 Euskalerria by Peret We can't forget, there's a political conflict in this land. What means this for a traveler? I think is not a problem. In my experience, i have always feld wellcome. People was always polite with me. As i have spoken with basque, they are very glad if you say them basques, better then spanish. Independentist or not, they are identified with the basque culture before the spanish. In the map, the land known as "Euskalerria", or basquish lands. This is Basque country, Navarra, and french basque country. In black the zones where basque is spoken. Leave a Comment
