The Basque language, known as Euskara, is a unique language spoken in the Basque Country, which spans parts of northern Spain and southwestern France. It is a language isolate, meaning it has no known relation to any other language family, making it distinct in Europe. Euskara has several dialects and is recognized as an official language in the Basque Autonomous Community. Efforts to promote and preserve the language have increased, especially in education and media, as it plays a crucial role in the cultural identity of the Basque people.
