France and Spain are the countries that have tried to eliminate the Basque language.Specifically, on the northern side of the France-Spain border, pronouncements on the order of the Villers-Cotterêts Edict of 1539 and the post-French Revolutionary projects of Abbé Grégoire (1750-1831) conferred official language status upon French and denigrated the use of purported patois ("dialects") such as Basque, Breton, Catalan, and Occitan. On the southern side of that same border, interaction between the four-speaking provinces and Spain culminated in the latter's absorption of the former. It was the beginning of a long-desired process on the part of Spain's powerholders to acquire and consolidate political and socio-economic control over the Basque Country. The years which most challenged the survival of the Basque people and their language were the years 1936-1975, during which Francisco Franco y Bahamonde's (1892-1975) government denied the use of Basque and Catalan in public, denigrated both languages - in animal- and pet-unfriendly terminology - as the "languages of dogs" not fit to be spoken in the Empire of Spaniards, and had publications and writings in both languages were burned.
