Language isolate is the language family in which Basque belongs.
Specifically, the term designates languages which have no known relatives in any of the known existing and extinct languages. Basque falls into that category because no connections have been established between it or any other language.

But Basque will continue to constitute its own language family until solid, sustained research proves otherwise.

Almost all European languages belong to the Indo-European language family. This includes the Romance, Germanic, Slavic, and Celtic branches, among others. The second most prominent is the Uralic/Finno-Ugric family, which includes Finnish, Hungarian and Estonian as national languages as well as the Saami languages, Karelian, and many languages of Russia. The Basque language is a linguistic isolate, meaning that it does not appear to belong to any family. Maltese is an example of a European language of Semitic origin.
