Where do the Basques live and what language do they speak?
Basques primarily live in the Basque Country, which straddles the border of northern Spain and southwestern France. They speak Basque, a unique and unrelated language that is considered a language isolate, as it has no known linguistic relatives.
What is the origin of the Basque people?
Western Europe is the postulated origin of the Basque people even though the correct answer depends upon the location and timing of the emergence of the Basque language and of the self-identification of the language's speakers as uniquely Basque.Specifically, the Basque ultimately can be traced back to the first known "anatomically modern" humans of 100,000-200,000 years ago in East Africa. About 60,000 years ago, some East Africans migrated to Eurasia. Some of the migrants settled along the Indian Ocean while others moved northward into the Central Asian steppes. Inhabitants of the steppes spread ever westward across Eurasia.About 45,000 years ago, some of the steppe-dwellers began moving from the area of the Black Sea - whose European access is controlled today by Turkey - into Europe. It is thought that the Basque people numbered among the migrants to first reach southern France and northern Spain. Ancient sources in Latin mention:Autrigones, Caristi, and Vardulli as inhabiting what is now taken up geographically by France's three and Spain's four Basque-speaking provinces;Vascones as living slightly east of the current Basque Country.Scholars know little about the first above-mentioned group. The second group may have spoken an old form of Basque. A third group, the Aquitani - unmentioned in the above list, but living nearby in southwest France around Gascony - may have been ancestors of the Basque people since they are known to have spoken an Aquitanian language which may be an ancestor or relative of today's Basque language.It is possible that a key event in the forging of today's Basque nation was the southward and westward movements of the Aquitani and Vascones and their absorption or displacement of the Autrigones, Caristi and Vardulli.

Is the Basque language difficult?
Yes, the Basque language is considered difficult. It is an isolate language, meaning it does not belong to any known language family and has no close relatives. This makes it challenging for speakers of other languages to learn due to its unique grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
What made the Basque language so popular?
That it is indicative of the uniqueness of Basque culture and that it survives from ancient times are what make the Basque language so popular.Specifically, the people of France's three Basque provinces, Navarre, and Spain's three Basque provinces are dissimilar and similar to the other peoples of northern Spain and southern France. Some believe that emphasizing what is shared - economy, geography, religion - can be counterproductive to Basque cultural, ethnic, linguistic and political survival. Language epitomizes what is not shared, what sets the Basque people off from all other Earthlings, and what will constitute the commonality around which all Basque people can rally.
