Basque is an isolated language in terms of its language family. It is the last surviving Paleo-European language spoken indigenously in Europe. It is officially used in parts of Spain, specifically in the Basque Autonomous Community, and is co-official in Navarre. It is also recognized as a minority language in France. Basque is written using the Latin script (Basque alphabet). It is estimated that there are more than 500,000 speakers worldwide.
