"Euskaldun" refers to a person who speaks the Basque language, known as Euskara. This term is often used to describe individuals who are part of the Basque culture and identify with the Basque Country, a region located in northern Spain and southwestern France. The Basque language is unique and unrelated to any other language in Europe, making it a significant part of the region's identity.
Being Euskaldun also encompasses a sense of pride in the rich traditions, history, and customs of the Basque people. This includes their distinctive cuisine, such as pintxos, and traditional sports like pelota. The Euskaldun identity is deeply intertwined with the preservation of their language and cultural heritage.
