Euskera |
Euskera (or Basque) is one of the official languages spoken in Spain. It is spoken by about one million people in the northern Spanish region of Euskadi (the Basque Country), in the neighbouring province of Navarra, and in the Basque region of France. Its origin is unknown as it is not an Indo-European language. For decades Euskera was either banned or officially unrecognized, and as a consequence it was mainly spoken only in rural areas. However, it is now being promoted as the official language for use in education and public administration and a growing number of schoolchildren can now speak the language. |
