About the Basque Language

The Basque region includes the Spanish Autonomous Community of País Vasco and a part of the French department of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

The Basque language, which Basque people call Euskara, is not Indo-European. It seems to have originated in the region before the spread of the Romance languages in Europe and does not seem to be related to any other known language.
