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.
