Basque is spoken by the Basques and other residents of the Basque Country, a region that straddles the westernmost Pyrenees in adjacent parts of northern Spain and southwestern France. Basque is classified as a language isolate. The Basques are indigenous to and primarily inhabit the Basque Country. [7]
History of the Basque language. Basque (/ bæsk, bɑːsk /; [1] euskara [eus̺ˈkaɾa]) is a pre- Indo-European language spoken in the Basque Country, extending over a strip along eastern areas of the Bay of Biscay in Spain and France, straddling the western Pyrenees.

Modern Basque, a descendant or close relative of Aquitanian and Proto-Basque, is the only pre-Indo-European language that is extant in western Europe. The Basques have therefore long been supposed to be a remnant of a pre-Indo-European population of Europe. The main hypotheses about the origin of the Basques are:
Basque predates the Indo-European tongues, and at the height of its influence, it was spoken throughout a region that was bordered by the Ebro River, the Garonne, the western Pyrenees and Catalonia. Invasions from the Celts, Romans and more have decreased its geographical reach over time.
