Best Answer

A language which is spoken on both sides of the border between southern France and northern Spain is what the Basque language is.

Specifically, the language is not known to be related to any language in the region and in fact to any other language in the world. Some scholars link it to languages -- such as Georgian -- which are spoken in Eurasia's Caucasus. People will find the language typically called Euskara by its native speakers.
