The Basque language (which is called Euskara or Euskera in Basque) is one of the few non-Indo-European languages in Europe. It is also Europe’s only isolated language (isolate); to date, no relation to any other language has been shown, except for the extinct Aquitanian language, which was spoken in the region now known as Gascony (between the Pyrenees and the Garonne). And even that Aquitanian language was an isolated language. As such, Basque is surrounded in mystery; it is unknown how the language came to be without the influence of other languages.

A language unlike any other

The field of comparative linguistics is making rapid progress through the use of modern research tools, so the search for the origin of Basque is a very interesting topic for linguists. There are always ongoing studies that compare Basque to, among other things, Iberian, Caucasian, and African languages. However, to date, no relationship with any other language has been found.
