Basque language (Euskara)

Basque (Euskara) is a unique, ancient language spoken by the Basque people in regions of northern Spain and southwestern France. It is a linguistic isolate, meaning it has no known relation to other language families, making it one of the world's oldest living languages. Euskara's structure features complex verb forms and a rich system of cases. Despite centuries of influence from neighboring Romance languages, it has persisted and is a vital part of Basque identity and culture. Preservation efforts continue to promote its use, ensuring that this pre-Indo-European tongue remains a vibrant part of the region's heritage.
