The Basque language, also known as Euskera, boasts a rich and enigmatic history. Why enigmatic? Linguists often label Basque as an unresolved linguistic mystery due to its distinctiveness. Unlike any surrounding languages, its isolation has sparked much curiosity about its origins.
It’s widely believed that Basque predates the introduction of Indo-European languages, such as Latin and Greek, to Europe. This captivating aspect highlights the deep-rooted antiquity and genuine nature of the language.
Primarily spoken in the Basque Country—a region stretching across the Pyrenees encompassing areas of both France and Spain—Basque holds not just historical depth but immense cultural significance. Yet, with all its prominence, UNESCO has marked Basque as a vulnerable language.
