I'd like more Basque facts please

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 38 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Basque language, also known as Euskara, is a language isolate and the last remaining language descended from pre-Indo-European roots after all the others were displaced during the Bronze Age. Though it borrows a lot of vocabulary from other languages now, its roots predate both Romance and Celtic languages.

Is it known that it predates Celtic? I thought people didn't know much about the history of the language since nothing was written, just roughly where and when because of archaeology.

Boise, Idaho hosts a sizable Basque population and features a couple of nice restaurants that feature their cuisine. Basque who emigrated to Idaho have traditionally been sheep-herders and some still work in herding professions.

Basque sports are a huge part of the culture, especially the traditional sport of pelota. There are many variations of this court-based ball game that has been played for centuries.

The Basque language, Euskara, is a language isolate - it is not related to any other known language. It is considered one of Europe's oldest languages.

The Basque region straddles the border between Spain and France along the Bay of Biscay. On the Spanish side it consists of the provinces of Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa, Álava and parts of Navarre.
