Declaration by the EBB on International Basque Language Day
In its day to day workings, Basque society clearly shows its firm determination to continue revitalising the Basque language. For instance the people who have decided to learn Basque are numbered in the thousands. Most parents – and the number continues to increase – choose to have their children educated in Basque, even in cases when they themselves do not speak the language. There are more than more people who speak Basque. We are building an increasingly bilingual society. Basque makes us visible and audible in more and more contexts. Basque is increasingly a living language, and one that is more and more useful in everyday life.
