Euskera (Basque language)
Euskera, or Basque, is a unique and ancient language spoken by the Basque people primarily in parts of northern Spain and southwestern France. It is considered a language isolate, meaning it has no known linguistic relatives, making it one of the oldest languages still in use today—pre-dating many other European languages. Euskera's roots are mysterious, and it has preserved many traditional features. It holds cultural significance for the Basque identity and has official status in certain regions, with efforts ongoing to revitalize and promote its use in education, media, and daily life.
