Basque Philology

Basque Philology is the study of the Basque language (Euskara) and its literature, history, and cultural significance. It involves analyzing the language's grammar, vocabulary, and dialects, as well as its unique origins and relationships to other languages. Basque is a linguistic isolate, meaning it has no known relatives, which makes its study particularly fascinating. Researchers in this field also explore historical texts and oral traditions to understand the identity and culture of the Basque people, who reside primarily in the Basque Country, an area spanning northern Spain and southwestern France.
